QFSM tool is a graphical tool for designing finite state machines. It's simple and very useful to design integrated circuits or to create regular expressions, scanners,etc. Now I will introduce how to use it on Ubuntu.

Let's do it
1.download source from
http://qfsm.sourceforge.net/about.html

2.Open terminal, being root and install cmake

# apt-get install cmake

3.install qt4

# apt-get install qt4-dev-tools

4.Extract the source then make the source

# cmake .
# make
# make install

This will install the executable "qfsm" to /usr/bin/ and the documentation to /usr/share/doc/qfsm/
