Requirements

- Qt (with threading support, e.g. under Debian, apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev)

How to build/install
oKle includes autoconf/automake stuff, so it should only be necessary to run the usual
./configure
make
make install
Note: Either Ogle must be installed to /usr/lib/ogle and /usr/include/ogle or
you
must give the correct paths to the configure script (see ./configure --help for more information).
Note 2: You have to start oKle thru okle since 0.2.3!
Or your run it from the K menu (Multimedia -> oKle)
Note 3: If you only see the File and Help menus and no icons in the
control window, please build okle with
./configure --prefix=/path/to/your/kde/base/dir.
Note 4: If you don't here any sound or oKle refuses to start because of
sound problems, please try to run it thru artsdsp ogle.
