To checkout gabber from anonymous CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gabber.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gabber login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gabber.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gabber checkout gabber
cd gabber/;
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
Further information can be found in the README.cvs file.

All of the dependencies for Gabber are needed, plus their -devel or -dev packages.

If you do not have all of the dependancies properly installed, including their .m4 files, you WILL get macro errors.

You need to have the common GNOME macros installed. In Debian, this is package libgnome-dev. Another name for it is gnome-common.

You can get gnome-common from several places:

• GNOME CVS module gnome-common
• RPM: gnome-common-1.2.3-0_cvs_0.noarch.rpm
• DEB: gnome-macros_1.4.1.1+cvs-1_all.deb
• Source tarball: gnome-common-1.2.2.tar.gz

Compiling the translations in CVS now requires the xml-i18n-tools which other GNOME apps are using. You can find xml-i18n-tools on any GNOME mirror: http://download.gnome.org/GNOME/stable/sources/xml-i18n-tools/

Those of you new to using gettext apps out of CVS: it is highly recommended that you first check that you have files in /usr/share/gettext/intl/ (If you don't, reinstall gettext) and then su and chattr +i them. 'make uninstall' is pretty broken with gettext, and will remove those files, thus breaking the ./intl/ directory for all CVS applications which use it.

Given ${prefix} is your prefix, such as /usr, /usr/local, or /opt/gnome and that /etc is the place you have sound/events:
