Gxmessage is a GTK based xmessage clone


A note about version numbers
============================

In gxmessage-x.y.z, the 'x.y' part represents the GTK2 version that this
gxmessage package was developed with. The 'z' part represents gxmessage
releases since the last 'x.y' change.


Installation
============

For details, see the file named INSTALL.

If you're replacing a version of gxmessage older than 2.12.0, it would be a
good idea to uninstall that before installing this version. Otherwise you'll
end up with a redundant gxmessage icon sitting in /usr/local/share/pixmaps.

Under GNU/Linux, compilation and installation go something like this:

  $ cd gxmessage-x.y.z
  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  $ make
  $ sudo make install-strip
  $ make clean

To uninstall gxmessage:

  $ cd gxmessage-x.y.z
  $ sudo make uninstall


Getting help
============

If gxmessage is installed, the following commands will provide information:

  $ gxmessage -help    - A quick reminder of available options.
  $ man gxmessage      - A short manual page with each option explained.
  $ info gxmessage     - A detailed user guide with examples.

For some interesting scripts making use of gxmessage, take a look in the
'gxmessage-x.y.z/examples' directory.
