This requires having <code>autoconf</code>, <code>automake</code>, <code>libtool</code> and <code>intltool</code> installed. The process can be automated with the <code>autogen.sh</code> script. </p> <pre> # ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr # make # make install </pre> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <p id="sponsor"> Sponsored by:<br /><a href="http://et.redhat.com/"><img src="et.png" alt="Project sponsored by Red Hat Emerging Technology" /></a></p> </div> </body> </html>
