GnomeICU is a program based on Mirabilis' ICQ protocol, and designed for use
with the Gtk+ widget library. It is meant to be a high speed, high quality
alternative for Mirabilis' Java client (Mirabilis' only attempt at a Linux
client). Though GnomeICU is quite stable at this time, it is still
development software, and most certainly contains bugs.
If you have a bug to report, or are unable to get GnomeICU working, feel free
to email the author (jwise@pathwaynet.com). As of now, there is no mailing
list for GnomeICU (hint, hint), so replies may be delayed.
Also, if you're interested in helping with the GnomeICU project, send an email
to jwise@pathwaynet.com. There is a large need for someone who can fix up
the autoconf/automake files.
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------
* Gtk+, Gdk v1.1.2 or above
* Glib v1.1.3 or above
* X11R5 (or above) and libraries
* Linux kernel 2.0.x or greater
* Perl 5 (for running convertrc.pl script)
* Gnome v0.20 or above (for gnome support)
NOTE: If you install the above packages as RPMs, be certain you include the
development packages, such as gtk+-devel, glib-devel, gnome-core-devel, and
gnome-libs-devel. Otherwise you will not be able to compile GnomeICU.
Following are the installation instructions for two different setups (the
titles should be self-explanatory). If you use Gnome, the Gnome support
contains a number of features which aren't offered in the "no-gnome"
version (e.g. Gnome applet, hotkeys for menu options, etc).
NOTE: There was a new feature introduced in v0.55 which seems to be causing
some trouble. Auto-away was recently added, but requrires the X screen
saver extensions (/usr/X11R6/lib/libXss.a on RedHat systems). If you don't
have these libraries, then comment out the -DUSE_XSCREENSAVER line in the
appropriate Makefile.
COMPILING
---------
1. Untar the gnomeicu-x.xx.tar.gz
$ tar zxf gnomeicu-x.xx.tar.gz
This will create a subdirectory, gnomeicu-x.xx/
2. cd gnomeicu-x.xx/
3. Building with GNOME support:
Run './configure'
This will create the Makefiles and configuration header files required to
build GnomeICU. For configuration options, run './configure --help'.
4. Run 'make' to compile everything.
5. As root, type 'make install'
NOTE: Previous versions of GnomeICU have installed libgnome*.so files over
those already installed. The support/ directory has now been completely
removed, and 'make install' will no longer overwrite your libraries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything should be set up and ready to run. If you have any problems,
feel free to contact Jeremy Wise <jwise@pathwaynet.com> for further
assistance. Bug reports, feature requests, hints and patches may also be
sent to the above address. Flames to /dev/null.
