fotoxx has the following dependencies. Those marked (*) are 
required for installation and the remaining for operation. 
   g++               *  the Gnu C++ compiler and linker 
   libgtk2.0-dev     *  GTK graphics library (GUI base) 
   exiftool             read/write EXIF and tags data 
   dcraw, ufraw         convert camera raw files to tiff 
   xdg-utils            LSB standard Linux utilities 
   printoxx             arrange images and text for printing 

The FreeImage graphics library is also required, but this is 
already included in the fotoxx download (because no package 
is available for some Linux distros).

Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6. 
Install these from your repository and repeat step 6. 
 
The default install location is /usr/local. To change the 
install location, do the following before step 6 (make):
    $ export PREFIX=/your/location 

Step 7 moves all files to the following default locations:
   /usr/local/bin/fotoxx             binary executable 
   /usr/local/share/fotoxx/          icons, translations ... 
   /usr/local/share/doc/fotoxx/      user guide, README ... 
  
If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr/local. 
If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX. 
  
For step 7, use "su -c" or "sudo" for root privileges.
If you have set PREFIX to a directory that you own, 
then root privileges are not needed for step 7.

Step 8 installs a menu entry and desktop icon/launcher.
This works if your system conforms to the LSB standards.
