AWS Simple Icons for dia

This provides AWS Simple Icons for Dia which programatically creates icons from the iconset provided by AWS Simple Icons for Architecture Diagrams.

This is a fork and slight rewrite of pieterlange/aws-dia-shapes which in turn appears to be a fork of kazuhisya/dia-aws-simple-icons.

This fork/rewrite takes my work of figuring out dependencies, reverse-engineering and ironing out issues with the original ./do-it.sh script and so should produce a more reliable build.

The AWS Simple Icons shape sheet is generated from a template (see makefile) and is currently installed into ~/.dia/{shapes,sheets}. No system install is supported but PRs welcome (see TODO list below).

System Requirements

• Dia
• convert from ImageMagick
• convert-im6 from ImageMagick
• make from Gnu Make
• rsvg-convert from libRSVG
• unzip
• wget

Usage

Build and install the AWS Simple Icons

  git clone https://github.com/shalomb/aws-dia-shapes.git
  cd aws-dia-shapes
  ./configure
  make clean
  make
  make install

NOTE : A restart of dia may be needed once the above steps are complete. A new sheet should now be present at Other sheets > AWS Simple Icons.
