To install xirw you will need the Qt library which you can download at
http://www.troll.no/ . This release has been tested with qt-x11-2.2.3
but almost any other version should also work. You will also need at
least lirc-0.6.0.

If you want speech output support you will have to compile the
Festival files (i.e. festival and speech_tools) in the same directory
as xirw. I had a hard time to get Festival working myself, so please
don't ask me how it works.

To compile just type:

./confiugre && make

in the xirw directory.
To complete the installation as root run:

make install

Read the README file for more details on running the program.
