Installation of dkopp from source tarball Building dkopp requires the following packages: g++ the Gnu C++ compiler and linker libgtk3.0-dev GTK graphics library (GUI base) Build and install dkopp as follows: 1. Download the tar file (dkopp-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop 2. Open a terminal window 3. $ cd Desktop # go to Desktop 4. $ tar -xzf dkopp-N.N.tar.gz # unpack to ./dkopp 5. $ cd dkopp # go there 6. $ make # build program 7. $ sudo make install # install program Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6. Install these from your repository and repeat step 6. Step 7 moves all files to the following locations: /usr/bin/dkopp binary executable /usr/share/dkopp/ icons, translations ... /usr/share/doc/dkopp/ user guide, README ... For step 7, use "sudo" or "su -c" to get root privileges. To run dkopp, the programs growisofs and either mkisofs or genisoimage are needed. These are normally included in Linux distributions. If needed, use your package manager to install them. The program wodim is also recommended (currently used only to reset a hung DVD drive). Normally dkopp is run as root so that DVDs can be mounted. Use "sudo dkopp" or "gksu dkopp". Please review the user guide (Help menu) before trying dkopp. NOTES FOR PACKAGE BUILDERS: If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr. If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX.
