This software provides a graphic interface to configure Linux kernel modules.

Software requirements
=====================
To run gmodconfig, you will need:

- GNOME 2.x libraries: libgnomeui, libxml2, libbonobo, gtk
- RPM libraries (unless you disable RPM support, see below)
- DKMS, a tool to easily build and install Linux kernel modules. Get it at:
  http://www.lerhaupt.com/dkms/dkms.html

Installing gmodconfig
=====================
This software uses autoconf so building from source should be straightforward.
The default commands would be:

./configure
make
make install

The last command should be run as root, since gmodconfig will be installed
under /usr/local by default. To change the installation directory, use the
--prefix option of configure.

The following configure options let you adapt gmodconfig to your system:

--disable-rpm
    This option will disable support for RPM-based DKMS packages. You'll
    have to specify it if you don't have RPM installed on your machine.
    Default: support for RPM-based DKMS packages is enabled.

--with-rpm-prefix=<dir>
    This option lets you specify the path prefix to the RPM header files.
    Default: /usr  (meaning the headers are under /usr/include/rpm)

--with-bonobo-servers-dir=<dir>
    The gmodconfig core is a Bonobo component. To locate a component at
    runtime Bonobo uses .server files. This option lets you change where
    gmodconfig's .server file should be installed, in case your Bonobo
    installation does not look for .server files under the default location
    which is: /usr/lib/bonobo/servers.

--with-modinfo-dir=<dir>
    This option lets you specify under which directory the modinfo executable
    is located. Default: /sbin.

Development, bug reports, mailing lists, etc...
===============================================
This project is hosted at Sourceforge, at http://gmodconfig.sourceforge.net/
It is written in C++. I develop and test it on a RedHat 9.0 box.
