4 1. Compiling and running
5-----------------------------------------------------------------
6For the impatient:
7
8        $ ./configure
9        $ make

11-----------------------------------------------------------------
12 2. Installing
13-----------------------------------------------------------------
14Really? That's your GNU/Linux distribution's job, but if you insist:
15
16        # make install
17
18will bludgeon its way into the proper places on the system. If you need to set
19the prefix to something else, use the configure script. You can likewise
20specify a temporary build directory to compose the installation image, perhaps:
21
22        $ ./configure prefix=/usr
23
24On Debian based distributions (like Ubuntu), you'll probably want to do
25something like that:
26
27        $ ./configure prefix=/usr libdir=/usr/lib/jni jardir=/usr/share/java

52 5. What is GNOME Split?
53-----------------------------------------------------------------
54GNOME Split is a program written in Java and using a GTK+
55graphical interface. It allows you to split a file in more little
56chunks in order to be able to store it easily. You can also
57merge the chunks later and check the file integrity using a MD5 sum.

60 6. Why do you write GNOME Split?
61-----------------------------------------------------------------
62I use Ubuntu for a while now and to split files, I have to use
63the "split" command. I thought that it will be nice to have
64a GTK+ program to split files more easily for everybody.
