    QUIMUP     
    version 0.3.5

    for MPD 0.12.0 and above.

    ______________________________________________________________________

    QUIMUP is a client for the Music Player Daemon (MPD) written in c++ and
    QT3. The program can be used with most Linux desktops (KDE, GNOME, XFCE)
    and is covered by the General Public License (see LICENSE below).

    The clean interface makes controlling MPD's many features easy and intuitive.
    The focus is on mouse handling: playlist management is done entirely by
    drag-&-drop; playback functions are directly accessible from the system tray.
    Quimup turns MPD into a perfect desktop music player.

    WHAT IS MPD?

    MPD is a daemon that runs in the background, plays your music and
    maintains a database of your music files. MPD does a great job, but can
    only be controlled through a client: MPD is as useless without the client
    as the client is without MPD.

    More information about mpd can be found at www.musicpd.org

    DEPENDENCIES

    To RUN this program depends on the QT3 libraries (libqt3-mt, >= 3.1.1).
 
    To COMPILE from source additionally install:
		libqt3-mt-dev
		libqt3-headers
    Xlib.h Xutil.h and Xutil.h are also required and are part of: 
		libx11-dev
		x11proto-core-dev
    
    Make sure the QTDIR environment variable is set. In bash you type:
    export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
    export PATH=$PATH':/usr/lib/qt3/bin'

    Put these expressions in your local .bashrc (in your home directory).
    To check if the variables are set, type 'echo $QTDIR' at the prompt.

    The actual path may vary ( /usr/share/qt3 is used in Debian & Ubuntu).

    To compile type:
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
    ('make install' will ONLY copy the binary to /usr/local/bin/)

    If 'configure' reports a QT3 version error you may not have g++ installed.

    GNOME, XFCE and KDE

    Altough the program depends on QT it does not require KDE or depend on 
    other KDE libraries, nor is it integrated with KDE in any way.

    Gnome and XFCE users are recommended to enable the Colorise option and to
    install a KDE-independent QT theme (e.g. polymer). The gnome utility
    qtconfig-qt3 can be used to configure Qt.

    (Screenshots on www.coonsden.com are all from Quimup running on Gnome.)

    If MPD is configured correctly it's all click, drag and drop really.
