INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------

Here are the basic instructions, what you need to do if you want to compile 
Txu Commander.

Quick instructions: Type make help to see list of available targets.


There are two compilers supported: FreePascal and Kylix.

FreePascal prerequisities
-------------------------
Install the FreePascal package from your distribution or grab the binary
snapshot from the official web site (http://freepascal.org/). Make sure
the /etc/fpc.cfg file contains valid configuration (consult the manual first) or
you may encounter file not found errors.


Kylix prerequisities
--------------------
First of all you will need to install Borland Kylix. This project is designed 
for use with version 3 Open Edition, but it should compile also with other 
variations (Professional, Enterprise).
Then you will need the sources of 'gtk2 for pascal' project, they can be
downloaded from the project site on SourceForge 
(http://gtk2forpascal.sourceforge.net/) or directly from our site 
(http://tuxcmd.sourceforge.net/).
Extract the downloaded sources (tuxcmd-x.x.x.tar.bz2). Then you need to edit
the Makefile file. You have to specify real path to Kylix 3 installation 
(it means top-level directory here, where the bin, help, lib
and source directories are located) - this is the KYLIXPREFIX variable. 
For GTK2FORPASCAL_LIBDIR, specify the path to extracted gtk2 for pascal package
sources. These are enough informations required to compile the sources.
The correct make command is 'make kylix'



At last, you will need basic development utilities, such as GNU make and 
install and gcc & g++ with system development libraries.

Since some of the VFS modules are written in C/C++ and require development
headers installed in the system, you may experience difficulties with their
installation. There's no configure script at this moment, only the gnome-vfs
module requires unusual packages (libgnomevfs2). 

So you have configured the sources and you are ready to compilation. Just type
make or gmake in the directory where is the Makefile file located. It will 
compile the application and all VFS modules. There should not be any problems;
if some occurs, please check if you have specified correct paths or if you have
Kylix installed correctly. Also check if you have all required development
headers installed in your system. To make the application without the modules,
type 'make tuxcmd' and to make the modules separately run 'make modules'.

To install the application, type 'make install'. You need to have write
permissions to the target directories, so you probably must be root to do this.
You can also run 'make clean' to clean the sources and 'make uninstall' to
safely remove the installed application and all modules.

There are no support for any desktop environment yet, so don't expect any new
icons in your application menu.
