Instructions for compiling and installing kopete-xfire from source.

Introduction

If no pre-compiled packages are available for your distro you can still compile the program from source. This guide will briefly explain how to do this.

Getting the source

The source is available as tarballs or SVN. The best choice are tarballs as they are stable version, however you might prefer the SVN version if you want the latest changes.

See the Downloads page for more information on getting the source.

Prerequisites

You will need CMake and the Kopete development files to build the source.

Ubuntu: sudo apt-get build-dep kopete sudo apt-get install libkopete-dev

Compiling

The following commands must be executed in the top directory of the source.

mkdir build cd build cmake .. sudo make install

Compiling in a custom workspace (no system-wide install)
