Printoxx Installation

1. Download the tar file (printoxx-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop
2. Open a terminal window
3. $ cd Desktop                        # go to Desktop
4. $ tar -xzf printoxx-N.N.tar.gz      # unpack tar to ./printoxx
5. $ cd printoxx                       # go there
6. $ make -B                           # build executable
7. $ su -c "make install"              # install files
8. $ make launcher                     # desktop and menu entry

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/local/bin/printoxx                binary executable
   /usr/local/share/printoxx/             icons, translations ...
   /usr/local/share/doc/printoxx/         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/local.
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.

Step 8 is optional and installs a desktop launcher and a menu
entry. The package xdg-utils is needed for this, and also to 
use the application's help menu. This is part of the Linux
Standards Base (LSB) and is normally present by default. 

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