README

Please read the COPYING file first.
If building from source, also read the INSTALL file (at least through the
"SUPER-SHORT VERSION") before going further.

Requirements
--------------------------------
The following packages *MUST* be installed in order for Gramps to work:
Python 2.5 or greater
PyGTK2 2.12 or greater
Python Glade bindings
librsvg2 (svg icon view)
xdg-utils

The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
GraphViz Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine
http://www.graphviz.org

The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
python-webkit Enable html rendering for Geographic view and Web view
Be careful, webkit is always in a development phase.
If you get crashes, remove python-webkit and add the
gecko package instead.
or
python-gtkmozembed is the gecko equivalent to webkit which is more stable.
It can be python-gnome2-extras or python-gtkhtml2
depending on distributions.
If WEBKIT ang GECKO are installed, webkit will be used.

The following packages are optional
python gtkspell Enable spell checking in the notes
pyenchant Enable query of installed spell check dictionaries
ttf-freefont More font support in the reports

No longer needed in 3.x:
yelp Gnome help browser. At the moment no help is shipped

Documentation
---------------------------------
The User Manual is now maintained on the gramps website,
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_manual
We might in the future distribute again a manual via gnome-doc-utils, this has not
been decided yet though.

Building on non-Linux systems: i18n support and GNU make
--------------------------------------------------------
If make fails, use gmake (the name FreeBSD gives to GNU make) instead.
You might need a patch also. FreeBSD has in ports a patch ( /usr/ports/science/gramps/files)
you need to apply to po/Makefile.in.in
