Installation from source tarball:
  
fotoxx has the following dependencies. The first three are 
required for installation and the remaining for operation. 
   g++                the Gnu C++ compiler and linker 
   libgtk2.0-dev      GTK graphics library (GUI base)
   libfreeimage-dev   FreeImage graphics library
   exiftool           read/write EXIF and tags data 
   ufraw              read digital camera RAW files
   xdg-utils          LSB standard Linux utilities 
   printoxx           arrange images and text for printing

See the note below about FreeImage if this is not available
in your distro's repositories.

After taking care of dependencies, install fotoxx as follows:

1. Download the tar file (fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop 
2. Open a terminal window 
3. $ cd Desktop                     # go to Desktop 
4. $ tar -xzf fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz     # unpack tar to ./fotoxx 
5. $ cd fotoxx                      # go there 
6. $ make -B                        # build executable 
7. $ su -c "make install"           # install files (as root) 
  
Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6. 
Install these from your repository and repeat step 6. 
 
The default install location is /usr/local. To change the 
install location, do the following before step 6 (make):
    $ export PREFIX=/your/location 

Step 7 moves all files to the following default locations:
   /usr/local/bin/fotoxx             binary executable 
   /usr/local/share/fotoxx/          icons, translations ... 
   /usr/local/share/doc/fotoxx/      user guide, README ... 
  
If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr/local. 
If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX. 
  
For step 7, use "su -c" or "sudo" for root privileges.
If you have set PREFIX to a directory that you own, then 
root privileges are not needed for step 7.

Please review the user guide (help menu) before trying fotoxx. 

FreeImage:
Check your distro to see if FreeImage is available as a package.
If not, you must download and install FreeImage yourself. This 
is fairly painless. Download FreeImageXXXX.zip for Linux from 
freeimage.sourceforge.net. Unpack the zip file and read the 
README.linux file. Basically all you have to do is make and 
make install. The compilation takes 1-2 minutes. Hundreds of
messages come out. After this, fotoxx should build normally.
