2. Installation

If you are installing binaries on Windows, just run the installer program.
If you are installing binaries on Linux, you can now download some from sourceforge. They may or maynot be rusty.

2.1 How to obtain Gutenbrowser

llornkcor.com
Sourceforge
or CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gutenbrowser.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gutenbrowser login
After anonymously logging in:
cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gutenbrowser.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gutenbrowser co guten

I believe that there might also be a Debian .pkg file somewhere.
Thanks to Viral for maintaining the Debian unstable package!!
# apt-get install gutenbrowser
hehehehehehehe...

I did manage to see an older kgutenbook binary rpm on the SuSE 7.1 ftp site called kgutenbo.rpm.

2.2 Requirements

Linux: QT 2.3, internet connection.
Windows: internet connection, and qt's dll (installed in the package for ya'll)

2.3 Compilation and installation

On Windows You' need MSVC++ 5 or 6, and QT headers/libs installed. Just load up gutenbrowser.dsp file,
or use tmake yourself on the gutenbrowser.pro file.

On Linux The best way to install gutenbrowser on linux, is to use Trolltech's tmake to produce a Makefile configured for your system.
and then run the included script Install.sh 

tmake gutenbrowser.pro -o Makefile
./Install.sh
if there's already a Makefile, you might try-
./Install.sh

If there's a configure file do:
./configure
./Install.sh

2.3 Bug reporting

Should you run into problems please report them to me at llornkcor

The fewer bug reports I receive, the less gutenbrowser gets updated
because I presume that
1) There are no bugs or
2) No one uses it.

Report early, report often.
