Building kissme

The release builds can be built by typing 'make'. For CVS builds use makeme ...

Kissme is built with a custom make tool written in Java, called makeme (download (src)). You need an installed java interpreter to run makeme.

Dependencies

kissme depends on the gmp library. I use gmp3, on debian:

apt-get install libgmp3-dev

Some builds of kissme (depending on what you build) will require these libraries:

curses
gtk
gdk-pixbuf

On debian:

apt-get install libncurses5-dev libart-dev libgdk-pixbuf-dev libgtk1.2-dev

Read the file doc/BUILDING to see how to configure makeme to build kissme.
