John Ralls fa0eb6cebe Determine Paths at Runtime
Uses GRAMPS_RESOURCES to override the root location of the Gramps data files (which would normally be $(prefix)/share).
In setup.py install, writes $(prefix)/share to gen/utils/resource-path, installs that file, then deletes it again from the source tree. The presence or absence determines whether Gramps is running from the source directory or from an installation.

Const.py is now a static file; const.py.in is no longer used. Note that because importing const into setup tried to initialize things that we don't want initialized, VERSION is removed, and imported from gramps.version -- a file which will be added in the next change. Consequently, this commit will not run.

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 2.7 or greater, Python 3.2 or greater (or both python versions)
   GTK 3.0 or greater
   pygobject 3.3.2 or greater
   cairo, pango, pangocairo with instrospection bindings (the gi packages)
   librsvg2 (svg icon view)
   xdg-utils

The following package is needed for full translation of the interface
to your language:
   language-pack-gnome-xx 
                    Translation of GTK elements to your language, with             
                    xx your language code eg for Dutch you need
                    language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
                    Gramps strings is included with the source code.


The following packages are *STRONGLY RECOMMENDED* to be installed:
   osmgpsmap        Used to show maps in the geography view. 
                    Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
                    http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Geography_Category
                    The package is named osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map
                    or python-osmgpsmap. Or obtain it from: http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/
   GraphViz         Enable creation of graphs using GraphViz engine.
                    Without this no beautiful graphs can be created.
                    Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org
   pyexiv2          Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
                    media. Gramps needs version 0.1.3 or greater.
                    Obtain it from: http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/download.html  

The following packages are optional
   gtkspell         Enable spell checking in the notes. Gtkspell depends on 
                    enchant. A version of gtkspell with gobject introspection
                    is needed, so minimally version 3.0.0

   rcs              The GNU Revision Control System (RCS) can be used to manage
                    multiple revisions of your family trees. See info at
                    http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree
                    Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required

   PIL              Python Image Library is needed to crop
                    images and also to convert non jpg images to
                    jpg so as to include them in LaTeX output.

   ttf-freefont     More font support in the reports

   gir-webkit       GObject introspection data of WebKit is required for the
                    hidden view 'Htmlview', which allows websites to be opened in
                    Gramps. Users can unhide the view in the plugin manager. 
                    A html renderer must be installed to use the view.
                    !! PACKAGERS, Test if on your distribution
                    webkit and Gramps is stable. If you obtain crashes, patch 
                    src/plugins/view/htmlrenderer.py and
                    src/plugins/view/geoview.gpr.py, so as to remove:
                       from gi.repository import WebKit as webkit

   goocanvas2:
                    Required for the Graphview plugin

No longer needed in 4.0:
   pygoocanvas, pygtk
No longer needed in 3.3:
   python-enchant Enchant
No longer needed in 3.2:
   python glade bindings
No longer needed in 3.1:
   yelp             Gnome help browser. At the moment no help is shipped
