INSTALL

## Running uninstalled
## ===================
##
## Meld does not need to be installed in order to be used. You can run Meld
## directly from the directory you downloaded and extracted it to. From the
## extracted directory, run:
##
##   bin/meld
##
## In order to have translations work, you need to generate them first. Do
## this by running (also from the extracted directory):
##
##   make
##
## If you want to be able to run Meld uninstalled just by typing 'meld' then
## create a symbolic link somewhere in your path, pointing to the executable.
## e.g.,
##
##   ln -s ~/Download/meld/bin/meld ~/.local/bin/meld
##
##
##
## Installing
## ==========
##
## Install Meld by changing to the extracted directory and then running, e.g.,:
##
##   make prefix=/usr/local install
##
## which will install Meld under /usr/local; the Meld executable will end up
## at /usr/local/bin/meld.
## 
## If you need to, you can customise the install paths used here:
##
PYTHON ?= python
prefix := /usr/local
bindir := $(prefix)/bin
libdir := $(prefix)/lib
docdir := $(prefix)/share/doc
sharedir := $(prefix)/share
helpdir := $(sharedir)/gnome/help
localedir := $(prefix)/share/locale
localstatedir := $(prefix)/var
libdir_ := $(libdir)/meld
docdir_ := $(docdir)/meld
sharedir_ := $(sharedir)/meld
helpdir_ := $(helpdir)/meld
##
