 # rtl-gopow
-Render tables from rtl_power to a nice heat map
+Render tables from rtl_power to a nice heat map. Faster and easier to use than other tools, gopow does not require a scripting enviroment, dependencies or development enviroment to run. Just download the binary and execute. At the same time gopow offers 2-3.6 times the performance compared to script based tools, depending on input file.

 Since Go is easy to cross compile, this tool can be easily distributed as a binary without any dependencies. You'll find it under [Releases](https://github.com/dhogborg/rtl-gopow/releases) here on github. The following platforms are avalible as a ready to run binary file:

+## Building
+(only needed if making changes to the source, otherwise you can download a [release binary](https://github.com/dhogborg/rtl-gopow/releases))
+
+### Install tooling
+`make setup` will install [go-bindata](https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata) which is needed to build the resources. Make sure $GOPATH/bin is in your $PATH so your shell can find the tool.
+
+### Make resources
+`make resources` will compile rtl-gopow/resources/ to rtl-gopow/internal/resources/resources.go. This file is disposable and will re-generate on every build. 
+
+### Make build
+Every platform has it's own make command. 
+* `make build_darwin`
+* `make build_linux`
+* `make build_arm5`
+* `make build_arm7`
+* `make build_win`
+
+All commands will compile a binary to rtl-gopow/build/gopow[.exe] and create a distributable zip file. For more info on cross compilation see [this document](http://dave.cheney.net/2013/07/09/an-introduction-to-cross-compilation-with-go-1-1).
+
+`make all` will build all platforms and create zip files in rtl-gopow/build/ and then remove the executable files.
+
+### go build/run
+Before runnning `go build *.go` or `go run *.go` make sure the resources has been generated by `make resources`. 
+
 ## Performance
 A render of a 600 MB csv file takes about 2 minutes on a 2,4 GHz Intel Core i5. There is still lots of room for improvement on that though. Memory usage is quite horrid.
 
+Compared to script based tools gopow will run more than 2x faster for smaller files, and more than 3x faster for bigger files.
