2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain TuxCards

Download it from the TuxCards - WebPage. There, several versions can be found:
    • rpm package,
    • an uncompiled tar.gz, and
    • a precompiled binary for SuSE-Linux.

2.2 Requirements

For TuxCards V0.5, V0.5.1, V0.6beta: If the binary version should be installed, you only need to have the QT-Libraries 2.0. This means the package qtlib2.0 should also be installed, if not already.

For an own compilation qtdevel2 is needed as well. Look for those packages at http://www.trolltech.com or install it with you distribution.

For TuxCards V0.7: You definitly do need at least qt2.2, because I have written an on iconselector basing on the QIconView-Object which was introduced in qt2.2.

TuxCards has been successfully tested with Linux SuSE 6.2 (with qt2.0), SuSE 6.3, SuSE 6.4, SuSE 7.0, SuSE 7.2; as well as Caldera 2.2, Caldera 2.3, Debian (with qt2.3) and several RedHat-Systems.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install TuxCards on your system, type the following in the base directory of the TuxCards distribution: 

% ./configure
% make
% make install

Since TuxCards uses autoconf you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at Alexander Theel
