10<h1>Gajim Read Me</h1>
11
12<p>
13Welcome to Gajim and thank you for trying out our client.
14</p>
15
16<h2>Runtime Requirements</h2>
17<ul>
18<li>python2.4 or higher</li>
19<li>pygtk2.6 or higher</li>
20<li>python-libglade</li>
21<li>pysqlite2 (if you have python 2.5, you already have this)</li>
22</ul>
23
24<p>
25<strong>Note to packagers</strong>
26Gajim is a GTK+ app that loves GNOME. You can do 'make' so you don't require gnomepythonextras (aka gnome-python-desktop) which is gnome dep, but you will miss gnomekeyring integration.
27</p>
28
29<h2>Optional Runtime Requirements</h2>
30<ul>
31<li>For zeroconf (bonjour), the "enable link-local messaging" checkbox, you need dbus-glib, python-avahi</li>
32<li>dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support; if you don't know what that is, you don't need it</li>
33<li>gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc</li>
34<li>GnomePythonExtras 2.10 or above (aka gnome-python-desktop) so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell</li>
35<li>gnome-python-desktop (for GnomeKeyring support)</li>
36<li>notification-daemon or notify-python (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups</li>
37<li>D-Bus running to have gajim-remote working</li>
38<li>python-dbus bindings</li>
39</ul>
40
41<p>
42Some distributions also split too much python standard library.
43I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml
44the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.
45</p>
46
47<h2>Compile-time Requirements</h2>
48<ul>
49<li>python-dev</li>
50<li>python-gtk2-dev</li>
51<li>libgtk2.0-dev aka. gtk2-devel</li>
52<li>libxss-dev (for idle detection module; some distributions such as Debian split xscreensaver)</li>
53<li>libgtkspell-dev     (for the gtkspell module)</li>
54<li>intltool</li>
55</ul>
56
57<p>
58<strong>NOTE:</strong>
59If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.
60</p>

62<h2>Installation Procedure</h2>
63<ol>
64<li>tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2</li>
65<li>cd gajim</li>

67<li>make (builds all modules)</li>
68<li>su -c make install</li>
69</ol>
70
71<p>
72To specify what modules to build do:
73make help
74</p>
75
76<p>
77To specify where to install do:
78su -c make PREFIX=custom_path install
79</p>

81<h2>Running Gajim</h2>
82<p>
83Just do <em>gajim</em> or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/XFCE/KDE/whatever menus.<br/><br/>
84
85or if you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with
86<em>./launch.sh</em></p>
87<hr />
88<h3>Note for svn users</h3>
89You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from svn. This includes:
90<ul>
91<li>automake &gt;= 1.8 </li>
92<li>autoconf &gt;= 2.59 </li>
93<li>libtool</li>
94<li>intltool-0.35.0 </li>
95<li>pkgconfig &gt;= 0.19</li>
96</ul>
97</p>
98steps to compile gajim:
99<pre>
100    $ sh autogen.sh
101    $ ./configure
102    $ make
103</pre>
104Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from <a href="http://www.gajim.org/downloads/snap/">here</a> and procede as usual:
105<pre>
106    $ ./configure
107    $ make
108</pre>
109<h2>Uninstallation Procedure</h2>
110<p>
111su -c make uninstall<br/>
112this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.
113If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:<br/>
114make PREFIX=custom_path uninstall
115</p>

117<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
118<h3>XML &amp; Debugging</h3>
119<p>
120If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging
121you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window.
122If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose
123everytime you want to have verbose output.
