1 | # GoFetch |
2 | ||
3 | GoFetch is a simple web scrapper that outputs gopher-ready files. | |
4 | You point it to your gopher directory, you launch it, and you have a | |
5 | gopher view of the supported news sites. | |
6 | ||
7 | ## Supported websites | |
8 | ||
9 | - Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters! | |
10 | ||
11 | ## Supported platforms | |
12 | ||
13 | Any platform with at lest Java 1.6 on it should be ok. | |
14 | ||
15 | ## Usage | |
16 | ||
17 | ```java -jar gofetch.jar [dir] [selector] [type] [max] [hostname] [port]``` | |
18 | ||
19 | - dir: the target directory where to store the files | |
20 | - selector: the gopher selector to prepend (also a sub-directory in [dir]) | |
21 | - max: the maximum number of stories to show on the main page | |
22 | - hostname: the gopher hostname | |
23 | - port: the gopher port | |
24 | ||
25 | ## Compilation | |
26 | ||
27 | ```./configure.sh && make``` | |
28 | ||
29 | You can also import the java sources into, say, [Eclipse](https://eclipse.org/), and create a runnable JAR file from there. | |
30 | ||
31 | ### Dependant libraries (included) | |
32 | ||
33 | - libs/nikiroo-utils-sources.jar: some shared utility functions I also use elsewhere | |
34 | - [libs/jsoup-sources.jar](https://jsoup.org/): a nice library to parse HTML | |
35 | ||
36 | Nothing else but Java 1.6+. | |
37 | ||
38 | Note that calling ```make libs``` will export the libraries into the src/ directory. | |
