2. Installation

If you are installing binaries on Windows, just run the installer program.
If you are installing binaries on Linux, you'll have to compile the source yourself,
or download somebody else's package files.

2.1 How to obtain Gutenbrowser

llornkcor.com
Sourceforge
or CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gutenbrowser.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gutenbrowser login

After anonymously logging in:
cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gutenbrowser.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gutenbrowser co guten

I did manage to see an older kgutenbook binary rpm on the SuSE 7.1 ftp site called kgutenbo.rpm.
I believe that there might also be a Debian .pkg file somewhere.

2.2 Requirements

Linux: QT 2.3, internet connection.
Windows: internet connection, and qt's dll (installed in the package for ya'll)

2.3 Compilation and installation

On Windows You' need MSVC++ 5 or 6, and QT headers/libs installed. Just load up gutenbrowser.dsp file,
or use tmake yourself on the gutenbrowser.pro file.


On Linux The best way to install gutenbrowser on linux, is to use Trolltech's tmake to produce a Makefile configured for your system.
and then run the included script Install.sh

tmake gutenbrowser.pro -o Makefile
./Install.sh
if there's already a Makefile, you might try-
./Install.sh

If there's a configure file do:
./configure
./Install.sh

2.3 Bug reporting

Should you run into problems please report them to me at llornkcor

The fewer bug reports I receive, the less gutenbrowser gets updated
because I presume that
1) There are no bugs or
2) No one uses it.

Report early, report often.
