[gaim-migrate @ 946] Sha la la la la la la, mmm, uh huh Was down at the linux expo, starin' at this blue octane, Mr. Flynn strikes up a conversation, with a black haired CS Major. She codes in C while her father hacks, oh, she's suddenly geeky. We all want something geeky, man I wish I was geeky. So come hack in silence down through the morning, sha la la la la la la la, yeah, uhh huh, yeah. Cut up Mark Spencer, show me some of that free software, and pass me a laptop, Mr. Flynn! Believe in me! Help me believe in anything, cuz, I wanna be someone geeky! Mr. Flynn and Me, tell each other linux tales, and we stare at the beautiful penguins, it's lookin' at you, oh no no, it's looking at me. Smiling in the CRT, Mp3's on the stero, when everyone's geeky, you can never be lonely. Well I'm gonna hack a program, syntax highlighting in blue and red and black and grey. All of the beautiful colours are very very meaningingful. Well you know C is my favorite language, I felt so symbolic yesterday. If I knew R. Stallman, I'd buy myself a grey keyboard and hack! Mr. Flynn and me look into the future! We stare at the beautiful Penguins, it's lookin at me, I dont think so, It's looking at me. Hacking in the CRT, I bought myself a grey keyboard, When everbody's geeky, I will never be lonely. I will never be lonely. I'm never gonna be .. loonely. I wanna be a penguin. Eeh -- everybody wanna pass as birds, they all wanna be big big birds, but we got different reasons for that. Believe in me, cuz I don't believe in anything. And I, wanna be someone, geeky, geeky, geeky, yeaaaah! Mr. Flynn and me, storming through the expo, and we stare at the beautiful penguin! It's coming for you, man there's got to be one for me! I wanna be L. Torvalds, Mr. Flynn wishes he was someone just a little more geeky, when everybody loves you, oh son! It's just about as geeky as you can be! Mr. Flynn and me .. starin' at the penguins, when I look at slashdot I wanna see me, staring right back at me. We all wanna be big geeks, but we dont know why and we don't know how .. when everybody loves me I'll be just about as geeky as I can be ... Mr. Flynn and me.. gonna be big geeks. **bows and cheers** Thank You, Thank You. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Build:

./configure ; make 
for the stock version.  ./configure --help to see what option you can get.

You need GTK 1.2.3.  I don't wanna hear about it, if you can't get it to
work under a lower version.

Gaim will try to compile with Gnome features if you have Gnome on your
system. If you don't have them, it will settle for simply GTK. If you
don't want Gnome bits, ./configure --disable-gnome

Run:

type "./gaim"

If you want to build as a GNOME applet:
./configure --enable-panel ; make
then su to root and run "make install". 
Afterwards panel->Add applet->Network->Gaim should be there.

Notes:

This should now compile under Solaris, Digital Unix, Irix, etc w/o a
problem.

This compiles without warnings on Linux-x86 2.2.10 glibc2.1, GTK 1.2.3 system.
If you get warnings on something else, let me know and I'll check it out.
If you get errors, upgrade to the latest GTK-1.2 before bothering me.

The resulting executable is standalone, so you can put it in /usr/bin or
whatever.

The panel (if you made an applet) requires certain things to be in certain
places, but the Makefile/configure script should figure things out for you.
Make sure to enable GNOME sounds if you want gaim sounds for the applet.

Send me bug reports.  The web page is http://www.marko.net/gaim and the ftp
site is ftp://ftp.marko.net/pub/gaim. We also have a sourceforge page at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/

Keep your eyes out for updates, and I'll try to keep the program maintained.
Other contributors and patches are welcomed.  Please read the FAQ first.
