4 Dia needs Gtk+ at least version 2.0.0 installed.
7 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.0/
10 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/binary/devel/RPMS/
12 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/binary/devel/DEBIAN/
14 Note that Gtk 2.0 has a number of requirements of its own.
16 Pango (required by Gtk) needs to be at least version 1.1.5.
18 As of version 0.91, Dia also needs libxml2, version 2.3.9 or higher.
20 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libxml/
22 As of version 0.91, Dia under Unix also needs freetype2, version 2.0.9 or
23 higher. It can be found here:
24 http://www.freetype.org
26 As of version 0.91, Dia requires intltool version 0.21 or higher. It is
27 also required for Gtk. It can be found here:

30 A number of other libraries are recommends for extra features:
32 Libart allows anti-aliased rendering and anti-aliased export to PNG:

34 Libpng is required for anti-aliased PNG export:
35 http://download.sourceforge.net/libpng/
36 Libxslt allows export through XSLT translation schemas:

38 Extra Gnome support (limited) is available with installation of the gnome
40 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-libs/
41 Note that ./configure must be run with --enable-gnome to use Gnome.
42 Python scripting is possible by adding --with-python and having the

59 The fact that you on AFS can make hard links within, but not
60 between directories might cause problems due to a bug in
61 libtool (at least som versions).
62 What happens is that messages like
63 Waiting for arc.o.lock to be removed
64 repeats themselves during compliation.
66 A couple of work arounds are
67 available: Run configure with the flag
68 --disable-libtool-lock. This might break parallel builds
69 though. Another (uglier) fix is to hack the libtool script
70 generated by configure. Change the line:
72 until ln "$0" "$lockfile" 2>/dev/null; do
76 until ln "$srcfile" "$lockfile" 2>/dev/null; do
82 If you are using the cvs version of Dia you need to have the following programs:
83 automake 1.4, autoconf 2.50, libtool 1.3, GNU gettext 0.10.38, intltool 0.21
85 Then run ./autogen.sh instead of configure to create all needed files.
87 WARNING: if you run ./autogen.sh, you will need to have gettext
88 0.10.38 installed, or to extract a few M4 files from that package and
89 include them manually into aclocal.m4.
94 You can try out dia in the compilation directory by running
103 By default Dia is installed in /usr/local.
104 You can change that by passing --prefix=/some/dir to configure.
109 I recommend that you install the URW fonts if you haven't already.
110 They are free scalable version of the standard postscript fonts.
