Any lines which are not +needed (for example the authentication lines) should just be omitted. +The format of the options is: +proxy_type <type_of_proxy> (http, socks4 or socks5) +proxy_address <address> +proxy_port <port> +proxy_auth <proxy_auth_method> (none, basic, digest or ntlm) +proxy_user <proxy_username> +proxy_pass <proxy_password> + +Dependancies: +libxml2 To parse the contents and media files; ensure to compile + with zlib support +libcurl 7.7.2+ To download the necessary issues and periphery +Unless compiled with "make nogui": +fltk 2.0+ To draw and control the windows + +Install: +The project is too small to warrent autoconf or anything else complex, +so simply use the makefile provided to compile and install the software +from source. + +For more details see the included INSTALL file. |
