• Linux-Source:
• needed software: gcc, Qt 3.x (and above), qmake, Python 2.x (optional)
• unpack the mindia-*.tar.gz file archive
• build the project from the source in the usual way: ./configure, make, make install (as root user, this will install the application in /usr/local/bin and the shared libs in /usr/local/lib)
• if you have problems to run the configure script successfully, than try to set your environment variables to find tmake or qmake (this program is used to build the Qt application) by running ". setqt3".
• run ldconfig (as root user) or use the command "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:."

• Windows-Source:
• needed software: MS-Visual C++ 6.0, Qt 3.2.1, Python 2.x (optional)
• unpack the mindia_src_*.zip file into an empty directory
• use the mindia.dsw file to build the program with MS-Visual C++ 6.0 from the source
• change the INCLUDE- and LIB-path to find the Python installation or remove the sub-project mindiapyc
