HOWTO

# GFAX
# ====
# I include the latest stable and development releases below.  If you use
# recent versions of mono, gnome, etc., you'll probably want to go with
# the development version.

# As I write this, I am unable to build either version with mono 1.0.10 and
# Gtk# 1.0.10 and 2.4.0 installed.

# gfax 0.7.3-1
# ============
# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# grep
# intltool >= 0.25
# perl
# iconv
# gettext
# sed
# gconf
# pkg-config
# mono
# gtk#
# dbus-sharp (dbus with GTK# support; optional)
# gnome 2.x
# HylaFAX

# Fix detection of the version of gnomeprint that you have installed.  Without
# the '-' the configure test finds two files (if you have libgnomeprint and
# libgnomeprintui installed) which screws up the test.

# Because I use KDE, I guess, I have to run gfax like so:
# gconftool-2 --spawn ; gfax
