- This file is free documentation; the Free Software Foundation gives
-unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it.
- These are generic installation instructions.
- The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
-various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
-those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
-It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
-definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
-you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a

- It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'

-the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
-disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
- If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
-to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
-diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
-be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at

- The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
-`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
-`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
-a newer version of `autoconf'.
-The simplest way to compile this package is:
- 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
- `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
- using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
- `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
- Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
- messages telling which features it is checking for.
- 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
- 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
- 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
- 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
- source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
- files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
- a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
- also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
- for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
- all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
- Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
-the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help'
-for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
- You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
-by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
- ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
- *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
-Compiling For Multiple Architectures
-====================================
- You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
-same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
-own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
-supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
-directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
-the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
-source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
- If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
-variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
-time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
-package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
-for another architecture.
- By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
-`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
-installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
- You can specify separate installation prefixes for
-architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
-give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
-PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
-Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
- In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
-options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
-kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
-you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
- If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
-with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
-option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
- Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
-`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
-They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
-is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
-`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
- For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
-find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
-you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
-`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
-Specifying the System Type
-==========================
- There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
-automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
-will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
-_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
-a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
-`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
-type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
-where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
- See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
-`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
-need to know the machine type.
- If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
-use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
- If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
-platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
-"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
-eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
- If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
-you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
-default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
-`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
-`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
-`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
-A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
- Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
-environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
-configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
-variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
-them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
- ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
-will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
-overridden in the site shell script).
- `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
- Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
- Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
- Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
- traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
- Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
- Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
- suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
- messages will still be shown).
- Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
- `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
-`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
-`configure --help' for more details.

-The news entries below are provided simply because it was a first release. Please

- John: Well, this is our first release of the Plugin Pack. Some of the
- plugins are useful, some are pointless, and some are for annoying buddies.
- We've put a lot of work into some of these plugins, and just banged out
- some of them in a quick hacking session, but we hope everyone enjoys the
- package, regardless of how much work went into your favorite plugin.
- On a semi-related note, happy birthday Peter!
- Gary: Here is the fabled plugin pack. Fabled because it's been in
- development forever, and we've finally got it to a maintainable state. So
- we hope you enjoy all of these plugins, since we couldn't justify packaging
- Peter: Are we using tabs or spaces at the start of each line here?
- Oh, Tabs it is then. And it's the 17th here, which is my birthday, not the
- 16th. Why's r0bby not out on the street? Is this file unicode safe? ↑?
- So I expect more pressies tomorrow your time. Already have new coffee tool,
- Stu: I'm still here. Some of my pathetic plugins are too!

-Adding a plugin to the plugin pack is actually quite simple.
-Each plugin needs to reside in its own directory. For it to be autodected
-this directory must contain a file named .plugin. The contents of this file
-do not matter; the existance of the file just lets the configure script know
-that this directory holds a plugin.
-However, there is still one minor thing to do in configure.ac -- that is to
-add <directory>/Makefile to the AC_OUTPUT line.
-If you want the plugin to build by default, create a file named .build in the
-directory for the plugin.
-For the i18n support, plugins need to be added to po/POTFILES.in.
-All plugins should have both a .plugin file and be added AC_OUTPUT in
-configure.ac. This way when working on new plugins, the plugin will not build
-by default but can still be compiled by 'cd'ing into its directory and typing
-If you are building your own distribution tarballs, ensure that you have at
-very least 'EXTRA_DIST = .build .plugin' in your plugin's Makefile.am.
-Otherwise things no workies and you end up writing garbage in quickhack.txt to
-There are templates for Makefile.am, core plugins, and gtk plugins in the
