Hello all,

This information is for those who will be building Polidori from CVS 
(not the releases that will start appearing soon in SourceForge). 
So, if you are not building from CVS, you may disregard this.

I have updated autogen.sh once again. This time I replaced it 
completely with the ones use for building Gnome and modified it 
so that it works for us for building polidori (mainly on Linux, and 
usually on Debian-based systems). I will need feedback from people 
running different distros if their builds happen to break, which I doubt 
but it\'s possible. Here is what you need to build Polidori from CVS:

autoconf >= 2.59
automake >= 1.8
libtool >= 1.5
gettext >= 0.11
pkg-config >= 0.14.0

These packages are currently in Debian Sarge (testing) and up. 
And since Debian lags 2 years or so behind all other distros, 
I guess these packages are in all other distros as well :-)

For those who DO use Debian as their main developing boxes, 
you might be happy to know that you can just do:

$>fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

After checking out the CVS module \"polidori\" from SF.net. 
This will make a package called polidori_VERSION.deb in the directory 
that contains your CVS tree. So, to install it you would simply do:

$> sudo dpkg -i ../polidori_VERSION.deb

You might want to modify \"debian/changelog\" and put an entry with 
the exact name used by your gnupg key so that the packages generated 
by you are signed correctly (if you care about that of course. 
That is, if you will be distributing your packages from a public server).

Hopefully a DD will take care of uploading Polidori to debian as soon as 
Polidori matures to a point that it\'s usable (very soon indeed).

Thanks for bearing with us through this early stages of development. 
This information will appear in our shinny polidori.sf.net soon for future 
generations to read ;-) Hopefully this will be the last time that one has 
to run ./autogen.sh... 

Happy compiling!
