	* gnome-panel (need to build GNOME applet indicator)
	* Qt >= 3.3.2 (need to build qt tools. you also need to apply immodule patch to build qt immodule)

== Compilation ==

First, please extract source from tar ball.

	$ tar xvzf uim-x.x.x.tar.gz

Then, move to the extracted directory and run configure.

{{{
$ cd uim-x.x.x
$ ./configure
}}}

Following configure options are disabled by default.

	* --enable-debug : build uim with debug information
	* --enable-dict : enable Japanese dictionary tool
	* --with-canna : use Canna
	* --with-qt : build qt tools
	* --with-qt-immodule : build qt immodule. you need the qt with the qt-immodule patch

Finally, make and install it.

{{{
$ make
$ su
# make install
}}}

By default, uim is installed under /usr/local , but this directory may not be on the system search path.  Should that be the case, add the line /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.conf and then, run ldconfig.
