2.2 configuring and building ¶

1. unpack the package with the command tar xzf quelcom-0.4.0.tar.gz. this creates a directory named quelcom-0.4.0 and expands there all the files.
2. get into the directory with cd quelcom-0.4.0
3. if you want, you can take a look at the makefiles. then type make to build the sources. some compiler messages may appear, but it should compile successfully.
4. once the package is successfully build, you can proceed to install it with make install.

   by default, the executables are installed under /usr/local/bin, the libraries under /usr/local/lib, the translation .mo files under /usr/local/share/locale and the info manual file under /usr/local/info.

to activate the automatic translation to catalan or to spanish (the only languages supported at this moment), it should be enough (if there haven’t been no problem until now), setting the environment variable LANG this way (with bash shell): export LANG=ca or export LANG=es respectively. otherwise, the messages will appear in english.
