sudo make install
Now you can run the program by typing: edfbrowser
The following bugfixes / additions will be available in the next version:
None yet.
Some commandline format converters (without graphical user interface) for scripts or batchfiles.
Note that these converters are also in EDFbrowser.
A very convenient open-source programming library for C/C++ programmers who want to implement EDF(+) and/or BDF(+).
