Florence Virtual Keyboard

In order to build Florence, you need a build environment with the following commands: make, scrollkeeper and a C compiler (gcc recommended), along with the following package dependencies:

How to install those dependencies is dependant on your distribution. If you don't know how to install them, please check with your distribution support.

Installing Florence from source is like installing any program that uses the GNU autotools. Open a terminal and type the following commands:

$ tar -xjvf florence-0.6.2.tar.bz2
$ cd florence-0.6.2
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ su -c "make install"
		

For Ubuntu, replace the last command with:

$ sudo make install

Check the list of other configure options available with:

$ ./configure --help
		

Your distribution may already have a recent binary package of Florence. In this case, you don't have to build it from source.

Uninstalling is as easy as installing. If you installed from source, you can uninstall with the following commands:

$ cd florence-0.6.2
$ su -c "make uninstall"
		

For Ubuntu:

$ sudo make uninstall
