how to install LoserJabber

[hugme]

I have been tring to get this gtk livejournal program to work now for about 3 hours, I finally did it (yea).

to install the program:

first there are no dependances listed so you are going to have to install them yourself. you need X11 (of course) you also need gtk 1.2...(under x11-toolkits) you can install it from the ports collection. then you need to install the gnome libraries... you don't have to install all of gnome, just the libraries (/usr/ports/x11/gnomelibs)

now you are ready to start the install!!!

make sure you are root!!!

there are a lot of errors in the code, are you ready?

unzip and untar the program:
# tar xfz loserjabber-2.1.5.tar.gz
now go into the directory:
# cd loserjabber-2.1.5.tar.gz
now run the configure script, I haven't run it with gnome and am not going to try:
# ./configure --without-gnome
now go to the libraries directory and make the approate changes:
# cd libhalfgnome

Change 1 the make file
edit the make file with your favorate text editor:
# vi Makefile
change the line begining with "DEFS =" to this:
DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/gtk12 -I/usr/local/include/glib12 -I..

now you need to edit href.c (for now you will change it back later)
# vi href.c

change the line:
#include "href.h"
to this:
#include "libgnomeui/gnome-href.h"

now do the same thing to halfgnome.h

one you are done you can make your false gnome libraries:
# make
you will get a couple of errors, unless you get an:
***error code 1
at the end you are fine, ignore the rest.
now the two files href.c and halfgnome.h you need to change back to the way they were... (otherwise your source won't compile)

now:
# cd ../src
# make
# cd ..
# make
# make install

that is it, from here you can log out as root and log in as a normal user

took me forever it seems like to figure all of this out however!!!!
