Description
-----------

idar is an i-scream client.

Building and Installation
-------------------------

First download and install libxml2 and libukcprog. libxml2 is available
from www.xmlsoft.org. libukcprog should be available from the same
place as idar. curses/ncurses is also required, but should be standard
on most systems.

After downloading and extracting idar, configure and build as follows;

./configure
make

Then install as root;

make install

You may wish to use one of the following configure options to change
aspects of this process;

  --with-libukcprog-prefix=PATH
  --with-curses-prefix=PATH
  --with-xml-prefix=PFX
  --with-ncurses

The first three should be used if any of the required libraries are
installed in non-standard locations. The last one insists on ncurses
(curses is used by default).

There are, of course, the usual GNU-style configure options;

  --prefix=PREFIX

For more documentation on the installation process, please read the
INSTALL document.

Running idar
------------

Running idar with the -h flag will provide a list of options. You will
need to know the address and port number of your i-scream server.
These details should be given on the command line to idar.

Problems?
---------

Please send all questions, problems, and bugs to dev@i-scream.org.uk. We
will do our best to help.

Thank-you for using i-scream software.
