Quick Installation
==================

	GraphCalc will not actually install into your system binary
directory.  Here are the build directions.  Make sure you have the
libraries listed below first though.

	qmake
	make
	./graphcalc

Detailed Installation
=====================

	This pre-stable version of GraphCalc for Linux does not include any
specific installation.  I do not recommend you use this version for
anything except testing and development.  These instructions will help
you produce the binary, but actually copying it to a directory like
/usr/local/bin is up to you.

	GraphCalc for Linux depends on a number of libraries.  Before you
begin, make sure you have the following packages already installed:

	- KDE/QT libraries (http://www.kde.org)
	- Ginac libraries (http://www.ginac.de)

	KDE/QT is already provided on most linux systems.  Chances are that
you already have the required libraries for this.

	Ginac is a GPL'd math parsing system that takes care of the
underlying computations.  These libraries must be present before
GraphCalc will compile.  Ginac also depends on a couple of libraries
before it will compile, like CLN and GMP libraries.  Refer to the Ginac
website, http://www.ginac.de, for detailed installation instructions.
Or, if you are running my favorite distribution (Gentoo), just do a
"emerge ginac".

	After those libraries are installed, perform the following steps:

	cd /whateverpath/linux

		This will take you into GraphCalc's source directory

	qmake

		This will perform QT's make function and generate a good Makefile
		for us.

	make

		Now that we have a good Makefile, this will produce our binary.
		This step typically takes between 1 and 2 minutes.  After you
		make the binary, all you have to do is run it.

	./graphcalc

	Good luck.  Drop a note to gcalc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net if you
	have any issues you'd like to discuss.
