[gaim-migrate @ 1411] abliity to set accounts away independent of each other. also allows for all the other states (like in yahoo and icq). probably breaks MSN, so don't use it until rob fixes it. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

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
