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><a href="http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net/">PyOpenSSL</a> (python-pyopenssl package in Debian) for <em>secure</em> SSL/TLS. Python's default SSL is insecure, so this package is highly recommended!</li>
32<li>For zeroconf (bonjour), the "enable link-local messaging" checkbox, you need dbus-glib, python-avahi</li>
33<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>
34<li>gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc</li>
35<li>GnomePythonExtras 2.10 or above (aka gnome-python-desktop) so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell</li>
36<li>gnome-python-desktop (for GnomeKeyring support)</li>
37<li>notification-daemon or notify-python (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups</li>
38<li>D-Bus running to have gajim-remote working</li>
39<li>python-dbus bindings</li>
40</ul>
41
42<p>
43Some distributions also split too much python standard library.
44I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml
45the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.
46</p>
47
48<h2>Compile-time Requirements</h2>
49<ul>
50<li>python-dev</li>
51<li>python-gtk2-dev</li>
52<li>libgtk2.0-dev aka. gtk2-devel</li>
53<li>libxss-dev (for idle detection module; some distributions such as Debian split xscreensaver)</li>
54<li>libgtkspell-dev     (for the gtkspell module)</li>
55<li>intltool</li>
56</ul>
57
58<p>
59<strong>NOTE:</strong>
60If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.
61</p>
62
63<h2>Installation Procedure</h2>
64<ol>
65<li>tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2</li>
66<li>cd gajim</li>
67<li>./configure</li>
68<li>make (builds all modules)</li>
69<li>su -c make install</li>
70</ol>
71
72<p>
73To specify what modules to build do:
74make help
75</p>
76
77<p>
78To specify where to install do:
79su -c make PREFIX=custom_path install
80</p>
81
82<h2>Running Gajim</h2>
83<p>
84Just do <em>gajim</em> or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/XFCE/KDE/whatever menus.<br/><br/>
85
86or if you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with
87<em>./launch.sh</em></p>
88<hr />
89<h3>Note for svn users</h3>
90You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from svn. This includes:
91<ul>
92<li>automake &gt;= 1.8 </li>
93<li>autoconf &gt;= 2.59 </li>
94<li>libtool</li>
95<li>intltool-0.35.0 </li>
96<li>pkgconfig &gt;= 0.19</li>
97</ul>
98</p>
99steps to compile gajim:
100<pre>
101    $ sh autogen.sh
102    $ ./configure
103    $ make
104</pre>
105Alternatively, 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:
106<pre>
107    $ ./configure
108    $ make
109</pre>
110<h2>Uninstallation Procedure</h2>
111<p>
112su -c make uninstall<br/>
113this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.
114If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:<br/>
115make PREFIX=custom_path uninstall
116</p>
117
118<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
119<h3>XML &amp; Debugging</h3>
120<p>
121If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging
122you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window.
123If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose
124everytime you want to have verbose output.
