KALYPTUS -- C, Objective-C and Java bindings generator
Version 0.9
KALYPTUS creates language bindings for Qt and KDE C++ libraries
directly from the headers. Documentation embedded in special doc
comments in the source is translated to an appropriate format for
the target language.
RETQUIREMENTS
You need perl 5.005 or greater to run kalyptus.
HOWTO
If you are running this straight from CVS, you will need to run
make -f Makefile.cvs
before building.
This should install kalyptus:
./configure; make; make install

Here are some of the shell commands that were used in the conversion process:
Remove any Q_OVERRIDE macros from the Qt headers, and remove EXPORT_DOCKCLASS from the
KDE headers
