grustibus-0.43-2mdk.i586.rpm

This file is a mess. Just read the whole damn thing, so you dont miss any
important information :)

If you have a rpm system you can simply type rpm -ta grustibus-(version).tar.gz
to build a rpm package. Debian users can unpack the archive, cd into it and
type debuild. Otherwise, read on...

gRustibus needs GNOME (>=1.0.55) and gdk_pixbuf(>=0.7.0).  Lower versions may
or may not work. The only special requirement is gdk_pixbuf, which is a part of
GNOME from versions 1.2 and up. If you have an older GNOME, and dont feel like
upgrading yet, you can get gdk_pixbuf from

	ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gdk-pixbuf/

and its mirrors.

You can get the latest GNOME from

       http://gnome.org/start/     

And obviously, if you intend to use gRustibus for anything other than staring
vacantly at it, xmame is required as well. You need at least version 0.36b15.
You can check which version you have by typing xmame -V on the commandline. If
it says unknown option you need to upgrade :) Versions newer than your
gRustibus release may not work (they are betas, and things keep changing).
xmame can be downloaded from

	http://x.mame.net

gRustibus uses GNOME functions to find its files. This means that you will have
to install gRustibus to the same prefix as GNOME. To be sure you get the right
dirs, run configure like this:

 $ ./configure --prefix=`gnome-config --prefix` --datadir=`gnome-config --datadir` --sysconfdir=`gnome-config --sysconfdir`

Then just do a make && make install.

In the case you have problems: First make sure you do not have stale
gnome-config scripts lying around. The command

 $ gnome-config --prefix && dirname `which panel` | sed s'/\/bin//'g

Should print the same directory twice. If it still will not work right, tell
me and I'll try to fix the bug or guide you through it. 

If you have GNOME installed under /usr, dont like to install non-packaged
files all over the place and for some reason can't use rpm or deb, I
recommend GNU stow. It lets you install the entire package under a directory
and automatically makes symlinks to the required places.  Uninstalling and
upgrading is just a command away.


------------------------------**WARNING**------------------------------------
Don't use make uninstall, it seems to delete system files. Use stow or delete
the files manually instead. The files are (with a typical gnome installation):
        
        /etc/gnome/conf/gRustibus.d/catver
        /usr/bin/grustibus
        /usr/share/gnome/apps/Games/grustibus.desktop
        /usr/share/locale/no/LC_MESSAGES/grustibus.mo
        /usr/share/pixmaps/grustibus.png
        /usr/share/pixmaps/mini-grustibus.xpm
        /usr/share/pixmaps/grustibus/*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: From version 0.42 and up, gRustibus comes with a file called catver
installed in `gnome-config --sysconfdir`. This file is the same file that
some Win32 frontends use (they call it catver.ini). You can download updated
versions of this file and either overwrite the one installed or install it into
~/.gnome/gRustibus.d. Remember to remove the .ini suffix.

Have fun!
