   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
  17 To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
  18
  19 - ./configure
  20 - make
  21 - make install
  22
  23 After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and
  24 use make, make install.

  49 * For Developers

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