| 1 | | Welcome and thanks for trying out Gajim. |
| 2 | | |
| 3 | | =RUNTIME REQUIREMENTS= |
| 4 | | * python2.4 or higher |
| 5 | | * pygtk2.6 or higher |
| 6 | | * python-libglade |
| 7 | | * pysqlite2 (if you have python 2.5, you already have this) |
| 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 (aka gnome-python-desktop) so you can avoid compiling trayicon and gtkspell |
| 28 | | * gnome-python-desktop (for GnomeKeyring support) |
| 29 | | * notification-daemon or notify-python (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups |
| 30 | | * D-Bus to have gajim-remote working |
| 31 | | |
| 32 | | NOTE TO PACKAGERS: |
| 33 | | Gajim is a GTK+ app and not a gnome one. |
| 34 | | Just do 'make' so you don't require gnomepythonextras |
| 35 | | which is gnome dep |
| 36 | | |
| 37 | | =INSTALLATION PROCEDURE= |
| 38 | | tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2 |
| 39 | | cd gajim |
| 40 | | make # builds all modules |
| 41 | | su -c make install |
| 42 | | |
| 43 | | To specify what modules to build do: |
| 44 | | make help |
| 45 | | |
| 46 | | To specify where to install do: |
| 47 | | su -c make PREFIX=custom_path install |
| 48 | | |
| 49 | | =RUNNING GAJIM= |
| 50 | | gajim |
| 51 | | |
| 52 | | or if you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with |
| 53 | | ./launch.sh |
| 54 | | |
| 55 | | Last but not least, you can run Gajim from your GNOME/XFCE/KDE/whatever menus. |
| 56 | | |
| 57 | | =UNINSTALLATION PROCEDURE= |
| 58 | | su -c make uninstall |
| 59 | | this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories. |
| 60 | | If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as: |
| 61 | | make PREFIX=custom_path uninstall |
| 62 | | |
| 63 | | =MISCELLANEOUS= |
| 64 | | XML & Debugging: |
| 65 | | If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging |
| 66 | | you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window. |
| 67 | | If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose |
| 68 | | everytime you want to have verbose output. |
