**Premise**

Befor you do anything, please make sure, that you have the following packages installed:

 - libglib2.0-dev
 - intltool
 - gnome-common
 
The name of the package may vary from distribution to distributon. The first two packages provide m4-files needed for the generation of the configure script. The files in need are:

- intltool.m4
- gsettings.m4

They should be located somewhere in /usr/share/aclocal.

**Installaton**

If everything is in place, run

./autogen.sh

to generate the configure script. If everything worked well, do:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

To install the extension to your home directory, run

make local-install

Or to install it for all users you need administrator rights. Thus you've to use something like sudo or become root via su. Using sudo, simply run:

sudo make install

Restart gnome-shell after that (using Alt+F2, enter "r" -- without quotes).

If you wish to translate TeaTime to your language, have a look at the directory "po".

A handy zip file can be created using:

make zip   -- This is the same you get via http://extensions.gnome.org
