RSS Guard
=========

RSS Guard is simple (yet powerful) feed reader. It is able to fetch the most known feed formats, including RSS/RDF and ATOM. RSS Guard is developed on top of the [Qt library](http://qt-project.org/) and it supports these operating systems:
 * Windows XP and newer,
 * GNU/Linux,
 * OS/2 (eComStation),
 * Mac OS X (possibly).

RSS Guard is written in C++. It is pretty fast even with tons of messages loaded. The core features are:
 * multiplatformity,
 * support for all feed formats,
 * simplicity,
 * sweet look & feel,
 * open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3,
 * tabbed interface,
 * integrated web browser + external browser support,
 * desktop integration via tray icon,
 * Qt library is the only dependency,
 * no ads, no hidden costs.

Installation
------------
You need to compile RSS Guard if binary distribution is not available for your platform. Basic steps are really simple:
```
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files\rssguard"
make install
```
This compiles and installs RSS Guard using Qt 4 on Windows machines. Qt 5 can be used too. Head to [CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt) file for more information on this topic.
