As of version 1.5 Guifications no longer needs to be compiled with in the Gaim

source tree. So, all you need to do is untar:

tar zxvf guifications-VERSION.tar.gz

Next run the configure script. If you have extracted Guifications with in the

GAIM_SRC_DIR/plugins the script should auto detect where the Gaim source is.

Otherwise, just add --with-gaim=PATH/TO/GAIM, this must be an absolute path, if

someone wants to fix this up and have it work for both absolute and relative

paths, feel free.

./configure --with-gaim=PATH/TO/GAIM

As long as you haven't gotten any error messages during the configure script,

you'll be read to compile. To compile just type 'make':

make

Guifications will install to the gaim lib directory and all of the configuration

images into the gaim datadir. These directories are usually /usr/local/lib/gaim

and /usr/local/share/pixmaps/gaim, so be sure you have write access to these

directories, or use 'su' to become root and then run 'make install':

make install

Once thats done, you are good to go. Restart Gaim, go into preferences, then to

plugins. Enable Guifications, right of of the box it will work with all the

default settings. There is always a large configuration for you to play with if

you would like to.
