Thus, there is no building of lookuplet, but you will need a few -things installed to run it: - - Python http://www.python.org/ - GTK+ http://www.gtk.org/ - gnome-libs http://www.gnome.org/ - gnome-python http://www.gnome.org/ +lookuplet is in the process of being rewritten in C++ using GLADE to +autogenerate code for the UI. As such you will need a variety of libraries +installed to build the program. I use Debian Woody and I believe apt-get installing the following packages will get you to where you need to be: - python-gnome + gnome-common + automake + autoconf + libgtk2.0-dev + libgnomemm2.0-dev + libgnomeuimm2.0-dev I'm not sure whether there will be some missed dependencies, let me know -if you start from scratch and find some. lookuplet doesn't depend on any -special GNOME services, just the configuration stuff (gnome_config) and -some compound GTK widgets (like property_box). +if you start from scratch and find some. -Everything else should work out of the box. If you invoke 'make install' -it will attempt to install lookuplet int /usr/local, which can be changed -by setting DESTDIR in your environment or specifying its value to make on -the command line. +With that installed, invoke: + +% ./autogen.sh + +which will do a bunch of stuff and eventually run ./configure. You can +pass arguments to ./autogen.sh like --prefix to install somewhere other +than /usr/local. Then you can: + +% make + +which should build lookuplet which you can attempt to run like so: + +% ./src/lookuplet + +If that seems to work, then you can install it with: + +% make install Please let me know if you find that I've overlooked some build requirements or instructions. @@ -32,4 +43,4 @@ Thanks, Michael Bayne -$Id: INSTALL,v 1.5 2002/03/17 10:13:57 mdb Exp $ +$Id: INSTALL,v 1.6 2003/11/28 21:38:13 mdb Exp $
