***** ALL STUFF BELOW ARE DEPRECATED *********************

I expected for a long time new release of xcave, until I decided to make
the change. I mailed to Gerard but ... Gerard never answer, email adress is out of order.

Like Gerard promised, English release is now available.

BUT

I'm a French guy who know a lot more about French then Foreign wine. So please be polite with me if French area are well represented. A French wine can be a Bordeaux, a Burgundy, even a wine from Savoie (who know's where Savoie is and that Savoie produce wine ? ) but a wine from GERMANY or GREECE is a wine from GERMANY or GREECE. 
Well, if you want to contribute, and feel like sending me informations about area, wine or whatever. Even a bottle (just mail me for my address). I will be pleased to enrich xcave. 

Ooops, Savoie is in the French Alps, maybe you've been skiing around and tasted wine from Savoie with Raclette or Fondue. Forgot it ? you're were right they're is some much more better wine in french than the white wine you can drink after skiing.

Compiling and installing xcave
------------------------------
	./configure --prefix /usr
	make
	make install
	Be wise SAVE YOUR STOCKS FILE.

assuming you don't have any compile errors (and really, you shouldn't) you now have an installed xcave software.
Anyway nothing compiling, installing and using xcave is done in the same way that in the first release.

I already working to optimize installation procedure. For this release my recommendation are:
	make
	make install
	vi /etc/xcave.conf to define path to your wine stock.
	execute /usr/local/bin/xcave

Sorry for my English, should not all the time be really good. So feel free to send me correction or modification for 'en.po' file.

OLD STUFF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For french speaking people :
--------------------------

Merci d'avoir téléchargé xcave !

Ceci n'est que la version 'foetus' alors je fais appel à toute votre indulgence :-)

OBJECTIF
--------

xcave est destiné à tous ceux qui souhaitent y voir un peu plus clair
dans leur cave à vins, en deux ou trois clicks.

Dans un deuxième temps, j'essayerai de fournir un petit guide pour l'accord
du vin avec vos repas. Mais soyez patients... ce n'est pas encore prêt!

INSTALLATION
------------

N'importe où, pourvu qu'un répertoire "CaveData" contenant un fichier "Stocks.dat"
existent et soient accessibles lors du lancement de l'application.
si ces noms ne vous plaisent pas ou si vous voulez fixer la base à un emplacement
précis, éditer le fichier d'en-tête API/cavetools.h , et modifier le path et le
nom du fichier à votre guise dans la constante DBPATH (attention au double slash 
en C).

Pour la compilation et l'installation, veuillez vous référer au fichier INSTALL.
En gros, la procédure reste standard :

			configuration: ./configure
	décompression du package : tar -xzf XCave_0_1.tar.gz
		allez dans XCave : cd XCave
	   lancez la compilation : make
	   		   installez : make install
    créez le répertoire CaveData : mkdir CaveData
    créez le fichier de données  : touch CaveData/Stocks.dat
    
Si vous voulez bénéficier des pixmaps sur la barre d'outil, elles devrons être
présentes dans le répertoire "../pixmaps" par rapport au répertoire de lancement.
Désolé, j'essayerai de mieux faire la prochaine fois.
