This repository is a fork of university-of-york/cs-www-users-fisher.

The goal of the work found on this branch is to resurrect the software (Tony Fisher's mkfilter and friends at this time) to be deployed and used locally.

Very quick and dirty instructions:

• make sure a C++ compiler, libgd-dev and libcgicc-dev are installed
• clone this repo
• checkout branch resurrect/mkfilter
• build and install the backend binaries from software/mkfilter/current
• build and install the frontend from mkfilter
• run a simple CGI capable webserver serving mkfilter

git clone https://github.com/enrikb/cs-www-users-fisher.git
cd cs-www-users-fisher
git checkout resurrect/mkfilter
cd software/mkfilter/current
make install
cd ../../../mkfilter
make install
python3 -m http.server --cgi 8000

Then open http://localhost:8000/ and enjoy...

Use at your own risk! The software itself is taken as is and has only been tweaked minimally to compile and run on a 2020 Linux installation.
