About OpenVAS-Client:
---------------------

OpenVAS-Client is a successor of NessusClient. The fork happened
with NessusClient CVS HEAD 20070704.

The reason was that the original authors of NessusClient
decided to stop active development for this (GTK-based)
NessusClient in favour of a newly written QT-based version
released as non-free software.

Please see file COPYING.README for the license information.

Compiling OpenVAS-Client:
-------------------------

The most simple way is (as a user, not as root):

$ ./configure && make

Then you can directly execute ./bin/OpenVAS-Client

During configuration some errors may occur
because of missing packages. Please resolve them
and run configure again.

More information about the configuration options:

$ ./configure --help

If you want to install OpenVAS-Client on the system
you can type

make install

However, you need permission to write files to the
installation destination.

If you are not familiar with this installation procedure,
we recommend to search for readily available installation
packages for your system.

For more information and questions, please contact the OpenVAS
development team on the openvas-discuss or openvas-devel
Mailing List (see www.openvas.org).


Internationalisation:

OpenVAS-Client is able to support other languages, e.g. german
or swedish.

To activate this for your installation:

$ cd po
$ make install
