Build and install
=================
To build and install Perroquet, you need these dependancies:

* Python 2.5+
    Debian/Ubuntu: python
    Archlinux : python

* Intltool 0.40.0+
    Debian/Ubuntu: intltool (>= 0.40.0)
    Archlinux: intltool (>= 0.40.0)
    Fedora: intltool

* In Fedora, you also need to install:
    python-setuptools-devel

To build for local usage, run:

    ./setup.py build

Note that build for local use is necessary only to have translation.

To install properly, run:

    ./setup.py install --record=install-files.txt

See --help for an overview of the available options; e.g. --prefix to
install to a custom base directory, and --without-gettext to avoid
installing natural language support files.
Others options are usefull for packagers :

 --without-icon-cache
 --without-mime-database
 --without-desktop-database

setup.py supports basic uninstallation provided --record was used for
installation as above:

    ./setup.py uninstall --manifest=install-files.txt

Note that uninstall will avoid removing most empty directories so it
won't harm e.g. locale or icon directories which only contain Perroquet
data.  It also won't rebuild the icon cache, so you may wish to:

     gtk-update-icon-cache -q -f ${PREFIX}/share/icons/hicolor

Where ${PREFIX} is the base install directory; e.g. /usr/local.
