From the source code

To be able to install kipinä from source, you must download the source package from the website and have the required libraries installed in your system.

Before compiling

Libraries you need

You will need the following libraries:

  • libxml2

  • libxslt

  • GTK+

  • libglade

Note:

You must have the library headers installed too. If you're using some common linux distribution, you'll need to have development packages installed. For instance in Debian GNU/Linux those packages are called libglade0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev and so on.

Compiling

Configure, make, make install

If you want to install kipinä to default path (/usr/local), you will need to run make install as root.
