PLUGIN INSTALLATION
===================

The first thing you need to do, obviously, is have talkfilters
installed on the system. Make sure that the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'
environment variable contains the path to the talkfilters libraries
(typically `/usr/local/lib', unless you specified a different
installation prefix).

Next, download and extract the latest GAIM source distribution. You
need to do this even if you already have installed GAIM. This plugin
was modified (once again) to work with GAIM 1.1.0. Therefore it is
probably no longer compatible with any earlier version of GAIM. If you
have an earlier version, you're strongly encouraged to upgrade to at
least 1.1.0.

Run `./configure' in the toplevel GAIM source tree to
create the Makefiles.

Copy the file `talkfilters.c' from the directory containing this
README file into the `plugins' directory in the GAIM source tree. Then
cd to that directory. Set the `PLUGIN_LIBS' environment variable to
`-L<prefix>/lib -ltalkfilters', and the 'PLUGIN_CFLAGS' environment
variable to '-I<prefix>/include', where <prefix> is the install prefix
of your talkfilters installation (typically '/usr/local') and then
build the plugin by typing: `make talkfilters.so'.

Copy the resulting `talkfilters.so' file to <prefix>/lib/gaim, where
<prefix> is the install prefix of your GAIM installation (typically
`/usr/local', unless you configured it otherwise).

Finally, restart GAIM. Open the GAIM preferences dialog and click on
the "Plugins" item. Enable the "GNU Talk Filters" plugin, which will
create a new item under "Plugins". Click on that item and activate the
filter of your choice.
