Simple install procedure
========================

Be sure to let ascp know where your afterstep files are by editing configure.h
before compliation; almost mandatory for RedHat users.
Read README.I18N for internalization information.


  % gunzip  ascp-1.0.2.tgz | tar xvf         # unpack the sources
  % cd ascp-1.0.2                            # change to the toplevel directory
  [ use ./configure --help to see what can be configured ]
  [ quickstart:  use ./configure  --enable-stable-libs  for the obvious]
  % ./configure                                 # configure ascp 
  % make                                        # build ascp
  [ Become root if necessary ]
  % make install                                # install ascp

  [ copy the ascp directory (not the root ascp-1.0.2)] 
  [ to your default AfterStep directory] 
  [ this contains icons, configuration, etc. for ascp]
  [ in my case I use: ] 
  % cp -r ascp $HOME/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep



Complicated install procedure
=============================

Hate to dissappoint you, but there is no such thing.



What the #*$@%!?! What about GTK+?
==================================

The above assumes you have GTK+, the Gimp ToolKit, 
a library for creating graphical user interfaces for the X Window 
System. <plug> It is designed to be small, efficient, and flexible. 
GTK+ is written in C with a very object-oriented approach. </plug>

If you don't have GTK+, please visit 

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk  or  http://www.gtk.org/

for your very own copy. Please be sure to get version 1.1.x.
(you could also try earleir versions if you already have them
installed).


Follow the instructions that come with it, and add the following to
your .cshrc (or equivalent; I use tcsh).

% set path =($path:[where gtk is installed]/bin)  

% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH [where gtk is installed]/lib


Having done that, you can proceed to build and install ascp.



For the NeXT look.
==================================

Now for those who would like ascp with a NeXT look and feel,
you can pick up gtkstep from
http://www-info2.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/mitarbeiter/ulli/gtkstep/

Here is a simple install procedure (well, relative to TkStep :-)

 % tar xzf gtk+-1.x.x.tar.gz
 % cd gtk+-1.x.x/gtk
 % tar xzf gtkstep-1.x.x.tar.gz
 % cd ../
 % ./configure
 % make
 % make install

(alternatively, you could simply use the STeP theme)


Enjoy.
