This article describes the procedure of installation of miniChinput-0.1.0

1. System requirement:

Locale supports of glibc and XFree86 are needed, also XFree86-libs should 
support XIM protocol. 

For different locales, different Chinese X windows fontsets are needed. 
Currently, miniChinput supports zh_CN.GB2312, zh_CN.GBK, zh_CN.GB18030, and 
zh_TW.Big5 locales. For example, gb2312 encolded fonts are needed for 
zh_CN.GB2312 locale support. 

2. Install miniChinput:

Unpack the package:
	gzip -dc miniChinput-<version>.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
  If the package was bziped:
	bzip2 -dc miniChinput-<version>.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

Change to miniChnput-<version> directory and run configure script:
	./configure --prefix=<installation path>

  The default installation path is /usr/local/ .
  If you are lucky, this step do not give any errors.
  Sometimes some libs or header files are required. Please install those 
  developing packages which provide the required files.

Start the compilation:
	make
	make data

  It will take relatively long time to compile the data. 

Install:
	make install
	make data-install

  The following dirs and files will be installed into your system:
	$prefix/lib/Chinput/im
	$prefix/lib/Chinput/Chinput.ad
	$prefix/bin/chinput
	$prefix/share/man/man1/chinput.1
	$prefix/share/doc/miniChinput-<version>

  where 'chinput' is the XIM server, 'Chinput.ad' is the configuration file, 
  'im' is the directory including all the runtime libs and IM modules of 
  chinput.
