        Supplementary Compile Instructions for Debian-based Systems
        ===========================================================

Unfortunately, many people have trouble compiling gtk-gnutella on Linux
distributions albeit it should be very simple. The following applies to
Debian-based system that is also Ubuntu.


1. Dependencies:
================

You'll have to install the following packages:

  apt-get install fakeroot        # required for compiling using the .deb
  apt-get install debhelper       # required for compiling using the .deb
  apt-get install gcc             # GCC; any version is fine
  apt-get install make            # the make tool; any version is fine
  apt-get install zlib1g-dev      # zlib
  apt-get install libgnutls-dev   # GnuTLS
  apt-get install gettext   	  # Native Language Support (NLS)

For the Gtk+ 2.x front-end you'll need these:

  apt-get install libglib2.0-dev  # GLib 2.x
  apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev   # Gtk+ 2.x

If you want to use the Gtk+ 1.2 front-end instead:

  apt-get install libglib1.2-dev  # GLib 1.2
  apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev   # Gtk+ 1.2

The following package is optional:

  apt-get install libdbus-1-dev   # D-Bus


2. Build:
=========

Run from the top of the source tree:

  fakeroot debian/rules binary

and it will build the .deb package for you in the parent directory.


3. Finish:
==========

You can then run gtk-gnutella without installing:

  src/gtk-gnutella

To install gtk-gnutella just run (version and architecture will vary):

  cd ..
  su
  dpkg --install gtk-gnutella*.deb

For further compile options and instructions, see the README file and
edit the debian/rules file to change the line calling "./build.sh" to suit
your taste. Run "./build.sh --help" to list available options.
