@@ -12,6 +12,15 @@ run "./configure && make". However, if you're building from the SVN,
the configure is not present. You should auto-generate it by
running ./autogen.sh and then "make" and, finally, "make install".
Running ./autogen.sh on this branch of gramps requires the following
packages to be installed:
* automake-1.9
* gnome-common
* intltool
* libglib2.0-dev (may be called differently on other distros) and
maybe something else. If autogen.sh fails, it should inform you what's
missing.
Regular vs local installation

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Installing under non-default prefix
-----------------------------------
As hinted above, the gconf schemas and mime types for gramps
MUST be properly installed. The "proper install" means installing
them where gconfd and shared mime system, respectively, will
find them.
By default, gconfd will look in these places:
1. Whatever is returned by running:
$ gconftool-2 --get-default-source
2. The xml::$HOME/.gconf : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
or xml:merged:$HOME/.gconf : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
There is a number of ways to let gconfd know where else
to look, but this is outside the scope of installing gramps.
By default, the shared mime systems will look in these places:
1. /usr/share/mime
2. /usr/local/share/mime : this may be broken on some systems
3. $HOME/.local/share/mime : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
Likewise, there's a number of ways to instruct the shared mime system
to look in other places, but this is the whole other story.
So if you install some place other than /usr/share, you will most
likely need to add this option to autogen.sh/configure scripts:
--with-mime-dir=/usr/share/mime
Using the --prefix=/usr/share and installing as a root will most
likely do everything correctly, so no extra care needs to be
taken. You should take extra care only if you are installing under
something like --prefix=/usr/local/my_gramps, /var/gramps123/blah, etc.
