Basic installation instructions for xlog
========================================

The simplest way to compile xlog is:

  1. Decide if you want support for hamlib, the Hamradio Control Libraries.
     Hamlib will allow you to read the frequency of your rig over the serial
     port. You will need to have both headers and development libraries 
     installed in order to compile xlog with hamlib support. 
     You must envoke the configure scipt with './configure --enable-hamlib'.

     If you don't want to use hamlib, just use './configure'.

  2. If you get an error like: 'Cannot find GTK: Is gtk-config in path?', 
     you need to install the gtk development library. On most distributions, 
     the package for this is called libgtk'version-number'-dev.

  3. You need flex for adif support in xlog.

  4. Type `make' to compile the package.

  5. Type `make install' to install the programs and data files. 

  6. When you want to strip the binary when installing, just type:
     `make install-strip'.

By default, `make install' will install the package's files in 
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man/man1', `/usr/local/share/xlog', etc.  
You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving 
`configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'.
