HACKING
=======

Gnome-Crontab's organisation is a bit warped because it has to execute itself,
via the crontab program. However this program executes gnome-crontab in the /tmp
directory so it's not easy to resolve library paths.

If you want to run the program outside of the normal install tree, for example
if you're hacking on it, you need to set the LIBDIR environment variable to
the directory where the gnome-crontab module files are.

You will also need to symlink the src/gnome-crontab file somewhere into your path.

For example:

	$ tar zxvf gnome-crontab-0.0.4.tar.gz
	$ cd gnome-crontab-0.0.4
	$ export LIBDIR=$PWD/lib
	$ mkdir ~/.bin
	$ export PATH=$PATH:~/.bin
	$ ln -s $PWD/src/gnome-crontab ~/.bin
	$ gnome-crontab

That should do it.
