**Premise** Before 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 In case you can't find the applet in gnome-tweak-tool, restart gnome-shell (using Alt +F2, enter: r). 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 Thanks to Thomas Liebetraut for the new build system.
