Before you install Gnometoaster,make sure you have at least gtk 1.2 plus the development files (the headers) for gtk installed on your system. gtk-config has to return the right values for your gtk-directories and files (test with "gtk-config --cflags --libs"). You can get a current version of Gtk from http://www.gtk.org. (if you have Gnome installed on your system you´ll get some advantages in future releases of Gnome Toaster,e.g. Multilanguage support,nice Icons etc.You can obtain Gnome from http://www.gnome.org)
This is really all you need to compile Gnometoaster. In order to actually use it,you´ll need a copy of the Cdrecord package by Joerg Schilling. To read out audiotracks from cds you´ll additionally need cdda2wav or any similar program. Another program called sox enables preliminary wav file processing. Configuring Cdrecord etc. should not be a problem with the only issue about them being that they have to be available in your standard unix search path.At least sox currently has to,all other programs´ locations and settings can be edited in Gnometoaster´s Preferences Menu,a process described more detailed in Section Configuring Gnometoaster.
to install Gnome Toaster,first get the gtoaster-Archive from http://gnometoaster.home.pages.de and decompress it into a directory of your choice. enter the directory called gtoaster and type "make". This should start building your program.After the building process has finished type "make install",which will install Gnometoaster in /usr/local/bin/gtoaster.
Problems during compilation are at a rate close to 90% caused by a misconfigured Gnome/Gtk environment. Make sure gtk-config returns the right values.Also ensure you have a recent version of Gtk installed on your system. You´ll need at least Gtk1.2 and it´s corresponding glib1.2 to run Gnometoaster. For the case you really can´t solve your compilation problem try compiling other gtk software. If this should work please submit a bug report to A.Eckleder@bigfoot.com. Do the same thing if you experience any unwanted behavior etc. Bugs that aren´t reported will probably never be fixed.
