Instructions for building Galaxium from source

Obtaining the Code

For this, you have 2 choices. If you opt for the subversion code, you'll get the latest developments in Galaxium, but less reliability and should expect breakage. Most people will want to download a released tarball.

Obtain Dependencies

In order to build the galaxium source, you will need some tools and libraries to be installed if they are not already. Most distributions usually have the very basics pre-installed, however you may need to install other basic tools like GCC to build C programs and Mon toolkit for the C# applications. If you are having difficulty installing a workable development environment, come talk to us in the Galaxium google group or on IRC and we can help you get started.

As a summary of things you should install, and where to obtain it from:

  • Mono 1.2.4 or later
  • Mono.Addins 0.3 or later
  • Gtk# (2.10.2 or later) usually included with Mono
  • SharpZipLib
  • libanculus-sharp
  • GStreamer for audio support
  • webkit-sharp for Adium message styles & MSN activities support
  • Swfdec 0.6 for MSN winks support
