XMMS-InfoPipe installation instructions
=======================================

Installation is simple - we use the normal GNU AutoTools package to
automate the building and installation process.

Needed to build:

 - Some sort of UNIX. We're supposedly POSIX-like.
 - XMMS 1.x and all related development files.

In Debian GNU/Linux, you need the xmms-dev package (and everything
related to it) to build this.


Basically, this is how to build it: In this directory, type

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make install

(to install, you probably need to be logged in as root; otherwise, it
may not work.)

The plugin will be installed to place that XMMS development package
thinks is its "General Plugin directory". In my system, it appears to
be /usr/lib/xmms/General.

You can remove "libinfopipe.a" and "libinfopipe.la" from that
directory, as those files are not needed!

Also, you *can* remove symbolic links and leave only the main file,
renamed as "libinfopipe.so". For example, in release as of writing,
you can remove the files "libinfopipe.so" and "libinfopipe-1.2.so.1",
and rename "libinfopipe-1.2.so.1.0.1" to "libinfopipe.so".
But if you had no idea what I was talking of there, please don't
try. =)



The configuration information is stored in ~/.xmms/config, and it
should be created after the first run automatically. There's still no
GUI for changing it - so you need to change it manually. Any text
editor should do the trick.
