   6 * Compiling
   7
   8 gcc 3.2 or higher
   9
  10 Some development libraries are needed for compiling :
  11
  12 gtk 2 development libraries (libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev)
  13 glib 2 development libraries (libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev)
  14 libpopt development libraries (libpopt0, libpopt-dev)
  15 libpango development libraries (libpango1.0, libpango1.0-dev)
  16 libc6 development librairies (libc6, libc6-dev)
  17
  18 To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
  19
  20 - ./configure
  21 - make
  22 - make install
  23
  24 After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and
  25 use make, make install.

  50 * For Developers
  51
  52 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
  53 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
  54 compile the subversion repository tree :
  55
  56
  57 GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50)
  58 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!)
  59 GNU Libtool
  60 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
  61
  62 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh
  63 script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
