REQUIREMENTS
To compile the OTR library and toolkit, you'll need at least:
If you install these with a package manager, you'll probably need the
-dev or -devel versions of the packages.
On Fedora, these packages are:
libgpg-error-devel libgcrypt-devel
On Debian (testing or unstable), they are:
libgpg-error-dev libgcrypt11-dev
COMPILING
If you're got a CVS copy, you will need to regenerate the configure
script using:
./bootstrap
Once you have the configure script (which comes with the source
deistribution), run it with the "--with-pic" option, as well as any
other options that may be necessary for your system. Some examples:
Linux:
./configure --with-pic --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
NETBSD:
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" LDFLAGS="-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib" \
./configure --with-pic --prefix=/usr/pkg
mingw cross-compiler from Debian Linux:
./configure --with-pic --host=i586-mingw32msvc \
--prefix=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc
Once the configure script writes a Makefile, you should be able to just
run "make".
INSTALLATION
You should be able to simply do "make install". If you want to install
somewhere other than / (this is useful for package creators), use
something like "make DESTDIR=/path/to/install/to install".
