| 1 | Welcome and thanks for trying out Gajim. |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | =RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS= |
|---|
| 4 | python2.4 (python2.3 should work too) |
|---|
| 5 | pygtk2.6 or higher |
|---|
| 6 | python-libglade |
|---|
| 7 | pysqlite2 (aka. python-pysqlite2) |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | some distros also split too much python standard library. |
|---|
| 10 | I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml |
|---|
| 11 | the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | =COMPILE-TIME REQUIREMENTS= |
|---|
| 14 | python-dev |
|---|
| 15 | python-gtk2-dev |
|---|
| 16 | libgtk2.0-dev # aka. gtk2-devel |
|---|
| 17 | libxss-dev # for idle detection module (Some distributions (f.e. Debian) split xscreensaver) |
|---|
| 18 | libgtkspell-dev # for gtkspell module |
|---|
| 19 | intltool |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | NOTE: |
|---|
| 22 | if you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | Optionally: |
|---|
| 25 | dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support; if you don't know what that is, you don't need it |
|---|
| 26 | gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc |
|---|
| 27 | GnomePythonExtras 2.10 or above so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell |
|---|
| 28 | notification-daemon (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups |
|---|
| 29 | D-Bus to have gajim-remote working |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | NOTE TO PACKAGERS: |
|---|
| 32 | Gajim is a GTK+ app and not a gnome one. Just do 'make' so you don't require gnomepythonextras |
|---|
| 33 | which is gnome dep |
|---|
| 34 | |

| 47 | =RUNNING GAJIM= |
|---|
| 48 | gajim |
|---|
| 49 | |

| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | Last but not least, you can run Gajim from your GNOME/XFCE/KDE/whatever menus. |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | =UNINSTALLATION PROCEDURE= |
|---|
| 56 | su -c make uninstall |
