Installation instructions

Gscreendump v0.2 was released in 15.mars.2009.

Installation from ready-made Debian/Ubuntu packages

1) Install first some dependencies (run as root or sudo):

On Ubuntu 9.04 64bits (Jaunty Jackalope) run:

aptitude install libmagickwand1 imagemagick libgtkimageview0 gnome-web-photo

Then download Ubuntu (.deb) package from the Downloads page. Currently there is only a package for 64bit Ubuntu 9.04. Other platforms should compile gscreendump from source. See the "Installation from source" section below.

Install the .deb package by typing (as root or sudo):

dpkg -i gscreendump_0.2*.deb

If your system complains about missing dependencies, run: aptitude install -f to fix it (run as root or sudo):

aptitude install -f

EDIT: The latest package should also install a menu entry in Application -> Accessories (or Graphics) menu. You can also start the program from CLI by typing:

gscreendump

You can later uninstall gscreendump by (as root or sudo):

aptitude remove gscreendump

Where does it install files?

Start gscreendump and fire About-dialog from the Help -> About menu. Then click the "Installation details" button. It will tell you all important file locations.

Gscreendump saves many runtime values GNOME's configuration database. Start "gconf-editor" from the command line and browse to "apps" -> "gscreendump".

Installation from source

Those who want to compile/install gscreendump from the latest (trunk) source , must first install the "subversion" source management tool. The package name is also "subversion". Install it (as sudo or root):

aptitude install subversion

Then download the gscreedump's source via the svn command.

svn checkout http://gscreendump.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gscreendump

See also the *Source* page above for closer instructions about subversion access.

Build and run the code as instructed in the INSTALL (and README) files. You will find them in the gscreendump directory. All necessary dependencies are listed in the INSTALL file.
