4 Dia needs Gtk+ at least version 1.2.0 installed.
7 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/
10 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/binary/devel/RPMS/
12 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/binary/devel/DEBIAN/
14 As of version 0.30 Dia also needs libxml (aka gnome-xml). I recommend you
15 get a fairly recent version, but not version 1.8.0. It can be found here:
16 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/gnome-xml/
18 As of version 0.40 Dia needs gdk_imlib, at least version 1.8.2.
20 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/imlib/
22 As of version 0.86, Dia requires either gdk_imlib (version 1.8.2 or newer)
23 or gdk-pixbuf (version 0.7.0 or newer). Older versions of Dia used
24 gdk_imlib only. Gdk_imlib will probably be phased out after a while.
25 Gdk-pixbuf can be found here:
26 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gdk-pixbuf/
27 Gdk_imlib can be found here:
28 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/imlib/
42 The fact that you on AFS can make hard links within, but not
43 between directories might cause problems due to a bug in
44 libtool (at least som versions).
45 What happens is that messages like
46 Waiting for arc.o.lock to be removed
47 repeats themselves during compliation.
49 A couple of work arounds are
50 available: Run configure with the flag
51 --disable-libtool-lock. This might break parallel builds
52 though. Another (uglier) fix is to hack the libtool script
53 generated by configure. Change the line:
55 until ln "$0" "$lockfile" 2>/dev/null; do
59 until ln "$srcfile" "$lockfile" 2>/dev/null; do
65 If you are using the cvs version of Dia you need to have the following programs:
66 automake 1.4, autoconf 2.13, libtool 1.3, GNU gettext 0.10.38
68 Then run ./autogen.sh instead of configure to create all needed files.
70 WARNING: if you run ./autogen.sh, you will need to have gettext
71 0.10.38 installed, or to extract a few M4 files from that package and
72 include them manually into aclocal.m4.
77 You can try out dia in the compilation directory by running
86 By default Dia is installed in /usr/local.
87 You can change that by passing --prefix=/some/dir to configure.
92 I recommend that you install the URW fonts if you haven't already.
93 They are free scalable version of the standard postscript fonts.
