 Abstract
---------

This document explains howto build Ardesia on GNU/Linux.
If do you want try to build Ardesia on other operating system
or architecture please refer to the instruction on the wiki page:
http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/w/list

-------
 Build
-------

The build system uses the autotools

The compilation requires the following packages:

- gcc
- make
- automake
- autoconf
- intltool
- libtool
- libgtk2.0-0 > 2.16
- libgtk2.0-dev > 2.16
- libatk1.0-0
- libatk1.0-dev
- libx11-6
- libx11-dev
- libpng12-0
- libpng12-dev
- libglib2.0-0
- libglib2.0-dev
- libgconf2-4
- libgconf2-dev
- libfontconfig1
- libfontconfig1-dev
- libfreetype6
- libfreetype6-dev
- libgsl0ldbl
- libgsl0-dev
- libc6
- libc6-dev
- libxml2-dev
- xdg-utils
- libgsf


If you are using ubuntu you can simply run this command: 

  # sudo apt-get install gcc make automake autoconf intltool libtool libxml2-dev libgsf-1-dev \
    libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libx11-dev libpng12-dev libglib2.0-dev libgconf2-dev \ 
    libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libgsl0-dev libc6-dev xdg-utils

You can compile the tool in the standard way:

  # ./autogen.sh
  # make
  # sudo make install


--------------------------------
 Make the DEBIAN/UBUNTU package
--------------------------------

The build of the deb package has these requirements:

- devscripts

You can simply run this command: 

  # sudo apt-get install devscripts

To build the deb package run:

  # make deb

the deb file ardesia_xxx-ubuntu-x_arch.deb
will be created
