Gajim is a GTK+ app that loves GNOME. You can do 'make' so you don't require gnomepythonextras (aka gnome-python-desktop) which is gnome dep, but you will miss gnomekeyring integration.

Some distributions also split too much python standard library.
I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml
the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.

< h3 > Note for svn users< / h3 >
You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from svn. This includes:
< ul >
< li > automake > = 1.8 < / li >
< li > autoconf > = 2.59 < / li >
< li > libtool< / li >
< li > intltool-0.35.0 < / li >

2006-10-12 01:55:03 +02:00
steps to compile gajim:
< pre >
$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
< / pre >
2006-10-15 12:32:17 +02:00
Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from < a href = "http://www.gajim.org/downloads/snap/" > here< / a > and procede as usual:
< pre >
$ ./configure
$ make
< / pre >
2006-10-06 01:47:50 +02:00
< h2 > Uninstallation Procedure< / h2 >
< p >
su -c make uninstall< br / >
this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.
If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:< br / >
make PREFIX=custom_path uninstall

If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging
you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window.
If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose
everytime you want to have verbose output.
