Introduction
This document explains how to build Mistelix from sources.
Install the pre-requisite packages
Mistelix uses Mono, GTK, Cairo and GStreamer libraries.
If you are using a Debian or Ubuntu distribution just type:
sudo apt-get install automake1.9 libtool git-core intltool mono-devel libmono-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomeui-dev libmono-cairo2.0-cil libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
If you are using a Fedora based distribution just type:
yum install libtool git-core intltool mono-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel gtk-sharp2-devel gnome-sharp-devel mono-addins-devel
If you are using OpenSuse, Gentoo or other distributions notice that the name of the packages may change and you will also need to use equivalent command to install these dependencies.
Download the code
You can check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.
git clone git://git.gnome.org/mistelix
Build from sources
Building is straight forward and familiar if you have ever built software on Linux before. Mistelix uses the standard autotools suite for our build environment. Once you have satisfied all the build dependencies, just type:
./autogen.sh && make
To install into your system you should do:
su <Enter password root> make install
or
sudo make install
Depending on your distribution permission configuration.
To run Mistelix type mistelix. Be aware that this is a script that runs mono and the application (check mistelix.in).
