• Debian. The Yehia Debian packages, maintained by myself, are in unstable (sid), in testing (upcoming sarge) and the released Debian 3.0 (woody). See the the unstable and testing and stable lists.

• GCC/G++ 2.95.2 or higher. Available from your distribution or GCC Homepage.
• You also need SigCX, an extension to the libsigc++ signal framework for C++.
• You need GTK+ and/or GLib, a library of usful C routines. They are bothe available from the GTK+ homepage. If you don't need the scripting wrapper of the SigCX GTK+ dispatcher, you need to install only the rather small GLib.
• For the scripting subsystem, you need Boehm's GC (garbage collector), available from your distribution or from here.
• If you want to use scripting plugins, you will have to install one or more of the following scripting languages:
  • Python
  • Guile
  • More to come, ...

./configure configuration-args
./make
./make install # do this as root


The configure script should be able to figure all things out without the need to specify any configuartion-args, but if you run into trouble or want to fine-tune Yehia, you can use several flags to control the configuration process.
You might also want to use '--enable-static' if you need a static library and '--enable-debug' for debugging symbols. See './configure --help' for more options.
Here is an example:

tar -xzf yehia-0.5.1.tar.gz
cd yehia-0.5.1
./configure --with-gtk --enable-static
./make
./make install # do this as root


If you encounter any problems during install or have other questions, please feel free to send me a mail, or rather use the mailing list.
