   6 * Compiling
   7
   8 gcc 3.2 or higher
   9 GTK 2.4 or better : For Fedora users : this might require at least core 3
  10   from Fedora, or you might have to compile your own GTK2 library.
  11
  12 Some development libraries are needed for compiling :
  13
  14 gtk 2 development libraries
  15   (Debian : libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev)
  16   (Fedora : gtk2, gtk2-devel)
  17 glib 2 development libraries
  18   (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev)
  19   (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel)
  20 libpopt development libraries
  21   (Debian : libpopt0, libpopt-dev)
  22   (Fedora : popt)
  23 libpango development libraries
  24   (Debian : libpango1.0, libpango1.0-dev)
  25   (Fedora : pango, pango-devel)
  26 libc6 development librairies
  27   (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev)
  28   (Fedora : glibc, glibc)
  29
  30 To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
  31
  32 - ./configure
  33 - make
  34 - make install
  35
  36 After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and
  37 use make, make install.

  62 * For Developers
  63
  64 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
  65 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
  66 compile the subversion repository tree :
  67
  68
  69 GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50)
  70 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!)
  71 GNU Libtool
  72 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
  73
  74 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh
  75 script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
