X-Chat Requirements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   - GTK 1.2.0+  (get it from http://www.gtk.org)

 Optional:

   - Gnome (1.00 or above only)    (http://www.gnome.org)
   - Perl                          (http://www.perl.com)


X-Chat Compiling and Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Type this:

	./configure
	make             (or gmake on some systems)

Become root and type:

	make install


Other Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have installed GNOME in /usr, then you should use:
(So the icon & .desktop file are installed in the right place)

	./configure --prefix=/usr


If you want to disable Gnome and/or Perl you can do:

	./configure --disable-perl --disable-gnome


If you want to enable use of SOCKS5 do:

	./configure --enable-socks


If you want to install a smaller stripped binary (without debug) do:

	make install-strip


If you have any problems compiling, you can try the old method:

	cd src
	cp Makefile.gtk Makefile
	make
	make install


Perl Library
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you notice your binary jumping from 140k to 1/2meg if you enable Perl?
Think about compiling a shared perl library (libperl.so). It's especially
benefitial if you have a few programs that use perl. See the Perl
installation text for more information.
