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.
25 sudo apt-get install $packages
31 Now you can use "configure" as described in the "INSTALL" file. The
32 following configure-time options are specific to Dasher (see section
33 "`configure' Invocation" in the "INSTALL" file):
38 --without-gnome Disable features which require the GNOME core
39 libraries (enabled by default).
41 --with-speech Enable GNOME-Speech support (disabled by default).
43 --disable-a11y Disable support for GNOME accessibility features
44 (enabled by default). You should probably specify
45 this as well if you're using --without-gnome.
47 The following options include code which is significantly out of
48 date and currently untested. It is likely that these options will not
49 correctly build without modifications to the source code. If you are
50 willing to invest some time in getting these up to date, please let us
53 --with-gpe Build binaries for the GPE palmtop environment.
55 --with-qte Build binaries using the QTE environment.
60 Note that in the GNOME 3 world, GSettings, part of glib, replace
61 GConf. By default, dasher's "configure" will use GSettings if
62 found. If not it will use GConf if found. This can be influenced
63 by the --with-gsettings flag to configure. If on running dasher,
66 GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Dasher' is not installed
70 try adding the directory which contains "dasher.gschema.xml",
71 usually ${prefix}/share/glib-2.0/schemas, to the environment variable
