Premise
Before you do anything, please make sure, that you have the following packages installed:
- libglib2.0-dev
- intltool
- gnome-common
The name of the package may vary from distribution to distributon. The first two packages provide m4-files needed for the generation of the configure script. The files in need are:
- intltool.m4
- gsettings.m4
They should be located somewhere in /usr/share/aclocal.
Installaton
If everything is in place, run
./autogen.sh
to generate the configure script. If everything worked well, do:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
To install the extension to your home directory, run:
make local-install
Or to install it for all users you need administrator rights. Thus you've to use something like sudo or become root via su. Using sudo, simply run:
sudo make install
In case you can't find the applet in gnome-tweak-tool, restart gnome-shell (using Alt +F2, enter: r).
If you wish to translate TeaTime to your language, have a look at the directory po.
A handy zip file can be created using:
make zip # This is the same you get via http://extensions.gnome.org
