# Gnote

Gnote started as a C++ port of Tomboy and has moved its own path later.

Starting as Tomboy clone, Gnote continues with the same initial ideas and
mostly has the same functionality. However it moved forward for the sake
of better integration with modern GNOME desktop environment.

## Compiling

Gnote uses GNU Autotool for its build system, so compiling it is a standard:
./configure && make && make install

Dependencies:
- Glibmm 2.62
- Gtkmm 3.18
- Gtk+ 3.20
- libxml2
- libxslt
- libuuid
- libsecret

## Importing Tomboy notes

Upon first running Gnote, it will import Tomboy and eventually 
StickyNote notes. These will be *copied*.

It is deliberate that it does not share the storage with Tomboy.
Note: due to the way Tomboy work, the "pinned" state of the notes 
will not be carried over, not yet.
