INSTALL

Debian GNU/Linux

As of nautilus-sendto/0.7-2, the Gajim plugin is included in the nautilus-sendto package, available in Debian testing and unstable.

This package is obsolete and conficts with the relevant version of nautilus-sendto, but it might work for some derivatives that don't follow Debian closely. Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.uni-sofia.bg/debian-addons-bg ./
or
deb http://ftp.uni-sofia.bg/debian-addons-bg ./

and install it by doing

apt-get install nautilus-sendto-gajim

Installing from sources

  • download latest version from: ftp://gajim.org/
  • unpack and cd to sources dir
  • ./configure --prefix=NAUTILUS_SENDTO_PREFIX --with-gajim=GAJIM_PREFIX
    Usually ./configure --prefix=/usr is enough
  • make && sudo make install
