9 Dasher makes use of the GNU autotools system (automake, autoconf
10 etc.), which are described in the 'INSTALL' file. The following is
11 specific to building and installing Dasher on Linux. The Dasher
12 maintainer documentation is at http://live.gnome.org/Dasher.
14 If you are building sources from the Subversion then you must first
15 install all the packages required to build Dasher. On Debian based
16 distributions the following can be used.
27 sudo apt-get install $packages
33 Now you can use "configure" as described in the "INSTALL" file. The
34 following configure-time options are specific to Dasher (see section
35 "`configure' Invocation" in the "INSTALL" file):
40 --without-gnome Disable features which require the GNOME core
41 libraries (enabled by default).
43 --with-speech Enable GNOME-Speech support (disabled by default).
45 --without-a11y Disable support for GNOME accessibility features
46 (enabled by default). You should probably specify
47 this as well if you're using --without-gnome.
49 The following options include code which is significantly out of
50 date and currently untested. It is likely that these options will not
51 correctly build without modifications to the source code. If you are
52 willing to invest some time in getting these up to date, please let us
55 --with-gpe Build binaries for the GPE palmtop environment.
57 --with-qte Build binaries using the QTE environment.
