Installation of mashup

1. Download the tar file (mashup-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop
2. Open a terminal window
3. $ cd Desktop                        # go to Desktop
4. $ tar -xzf mashup-N.N.tar.gz      # unpack tar to ./mashup
5. $ cd mashup                       # 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 installs application files in the default locations:
   /usr/bin/mashup                binary executable
   /usr/share/mashup/             icons, translations ...
   /usr/share/doc/mashup/         user guide, README ...

Root privileges are needed for step 7, so use su -c or sudo.

If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr.
If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX.

To change the location, do the following before step 6 (make):
   $ export PREFIX=/your/location
If this is within your own directories, then root privileges
are not needed for step 7.

Please review the user guide (help button) before trying mashup.
