Simple install procedure ======================== % gzip -cd gtkyahoo-<version>.tar.gz | tar xvf - # unpack the sources % cd gtkyahoo-<version> # change to the toplevel directory % ./configure # run the `configure' script % make # build GTKYahoo [ Become root if necessary ] % make install # install GTKYahoo % gtkyahoo # run gtkyahoo once % vi $HOME/.gtkyahoo/gtkyahoorc # update/create config file NOTE - OpenBSD (and possibly other *BSD) users might need to use gmake instead of make when compiling this software. The Nitty-Gritty ================ The 'configure' script can be given a number of options to enable and disable various features. For a complete list, type: ./configure --help A few of the more important ones: * --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [ Defaults to /usr/local ] Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting environment variables before running configure. A few of the more important ones: CC : The C compiler to use CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D CFLAGS : C compiler flags The most important use of this is to set the optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no debugging information at all, run configure as: CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh) or, setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants Installation directories ======================== The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the use of these flags is not tested. BSD build instructions ====================== BSD users might need to use gmake instead of make when compiling this software. Debian build instructions ========================= Requires fakeroot and debhelper packages installed. % fakeroot % debian/rules binary This will create a gtkyahoo-<version>.deb file in the higher directory, not <version> stands for the version number. [become root] % dpkg -i gtkyahoo-<version>.deb
