Installation of fotoxx from source tarball
  
Fotoxx has the following dependencies. The first three are 
required for installation and the remaining for operation. 
   g++                the Gnu C++ compiler and linker 
   libgtk2.0-dev      GTK graphics library (GUI base)
   libtiff4           read/write tiff-8/16 image files
   exiftool           read/write EXIF and tags data 
   ufraw-batch        convert camera RAW files to TIFF
   xdg-utils          LSB standard Linux utilities 

After taking care of dependencies, install fotoxx as follows:
   1. Download the tar file (fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop 
   2. Open a terminal window 
   3. $ cd Desktop                     # go to Desktop 
   4. $ tar -xzf fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz     # unpack to ./fotoxx 
   5. $ cd fotoxx                      # go there 
   6. $ make                           # build executable 
   7. $ sudo make install              # install files
  
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 default locations:
   /usr/bin/fotoxx             binary executable 
   /usr/share/fotoxx/          icons, translations ... 
   /usr/share/doc/fotoxx/      user guide, README ... 
  
If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr. 
If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX. 
  
For step 7, use "su -c" or "sudo" for root privileges. If you 
set PREFIX to a directory that you own, then root privileges 
are not needed, and step 7 becomes simply "make install".

Please review the user guide (Help menu) before trying fotoxx.
