Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parcellite is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. This is a stripped down,
basic-features-only clipboard manager with a small memory footprint for those
who like simplicity.

How to compile and install parcellite
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Requirements:
	* gtk+ >= 2.10.0 
	* intltool
	* libglib

Download the parcellite source code, then:
	$ tar zxvf parcellite-x.y.z.tar.gz
	$ cd parcellite-x.y.z

No Autotools (just make and install it):
	$ make -f Makefile.simple
	$ sudo make -f Makefile.simple install prefix=/usr/local
	$ OR make -f Makefile.simple install DESTDIR=/tmp/myinstall prefix=/usr/local

if you want autotools:
	$ ./autogen.sh
# See note below on OpenBSD
	$ ./configure
	$ make
	$ sudo make install

OpenBSD notes:

Thanks to Lawrence Teo for this tidbit on BSD.
	
For OpenBSD, you will need to use GNU make instead of BSD make (complains about .desktop files). 
GNU make is usually available on BSD systems by installing the "gmake" package.

the configure script needs to be invoked as follows on OpenBSD:

   LIBS="`pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`" ./configure

If not, configure will report that the gtk >= 2.10.0 requirement is not met on OpenBSD.

Release instructions:
1) run rel.sh - it copies the trunk to the tag the script asks the developer for.
2) If 1 doesn't work, rel.deb.sh can be run to complete the .deb builds.
3) run rel.ppa.sh to build & dput code to the ppa.

All scripts are run from a checked-out svn trunk directory (i.e. same directory as this file).

To update the pot file, run extract_strings.sh in the trunk directory.
