Installation Instructions for watsup

For end users who download and install the tar file, here is the 
procedure to follow (package makers please look below).

1. Download the tar file (watsup.xx.tar.gz) to Desktop
2. Open a terminal window
3. $ cd Desktop                        # go to Desktop
4. $ tar -xzf watsup.xx.tar.gz         # unpack tar to ./watsup
5. $ cd watsup                         # go there
6. $ ./build both                      # build and install

Missing dependencies (if any) will be listed in step 6.
Install these from your repository and repeat step 6.

You will be asked where to install the application files. Accept 
the standard locations with ENTER or input your own preferences.

The standard file locations are as follows:
   /usr/bin/watsup             binary executable
   /usr/share/watsup/          icons, config, translations ...
   /usr/share/doc/watsup/      user guide

The standard locations require root privileges, so use 'su'
or 'sudo' for step 6. If you choose to install within your 
own directories, root privileges are not needed.

A desktop launcher will be created if not already present. 
Delete if not wanted.

If you need to run watsup as root, modify the launcher to put 
"gksu" in front of the command: gksu /.../watsup
Do this in order to report all processes. Otherwise you will 
see only your own processes.

Please review the user-guide before trying watsup.

PACKAGE MAKERS: the script works as follows:
   $ build build        #  build only
   $ build install      #  install only (after build)

If $PREFIX is defined beforehand then application files 
go automatically to standard locations under $PREFIX.
If not, file locations are queried interactively.
