Please read the COPYING file first. If building from source, also read the INSTALL file (at least through the "SUPER-SHORT VERSION") before going further. Requirements -------------------------------- Python 1.5.2 or greater Gnome 1.2 or greater PyGnome 1.0.53 or greater If you are using python 1.5.2, you may also need PyXML 0.6.2 or greater. Many distributions already provide this, but if your installation does not have it, you can get it from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6473 Documentation --------------------------------- Gramps documentation is supplied in the form of SGML files, which will be installed in the GNOME help path(*). Recent versions of Nautilus and Galeon can generate HTML on-the-fly documents from these. For more information on building HTML files (including info about packages that do and do not work with the documentation) see the INSTALL file. To generate HTML documentation the following packages *MUST* installed: * db2html >= 0.6.9 (jw >= 1.1) to convert the SGML -> HTML * gnome-doc-tools-2-1 for the GNOME documentation style sheets The former is part of the docbook-utils package, the latter can be found from the developer section at gnome.org. (note that docbook-utils 0.6.10 is buggy) One also needs png support for sgml, which should be a part of the gnome-doc-tools package. The /etc/sgml/catalog file should contain an entry pointing to PNG support. If configured properly, your db2html should automatically look up and use the /etc/sgml/catalog file. Of course, current HTML documentation can also be found on the gramps website, http://gramps.sourceforge.net/help.html (*) More precisely, they are installed in ${prefix}/share/gnome/help, where ${prefix} is given by the --prefix= option to configure. If this is different from where your standard GNOME installation looks for help files and documentation, then set your GNOMEDIR environment variable to the ${prefix} path before starting gramps. For example, if you are installing gramps in /usr/local/, then type the following: in tcsh: setenv GNOMEDIR /usr/local/ in bash: GNOMEDIR=/usr/local/ ; export GNOMEDIR Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make -------------------------------------------------------- Linux has libintl (GNU gettext) built-in the C library. Other systems are likely to have libintl as a separate or optional library. Also, other systems may have a different make utility. On those systems, like FreeBSD, you must tell configure where to find the libintl library and the libintl.h include file: CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local Once you have done this, if make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD gives to GNU make) instead. -------------------------------- Donald Allingham dallingham@users.sourceforge.net
