IMPORTANT NOTE:

   TEA can be configured and build in two modes. There are: 

MODE 0 (GtkSourceView 2, default)

./configure

Description: all functionality, and the extended syntax highlighting from GtkSourceView.
Dependencies: Gtk 2.4 or higher, GtkSourceView2.

If the "configure" script can't find GtkSourceView 2, it searches GtkSourceView 1. For GtkSourceView 1 support you need also GnomeVFS and LibGconf.

MODE 1 (Legacy mode)

./configure --enable-legacy

Description: all functionality, but the limited syntax highlighting (static hl, needs to refresh manually).
Dependencies: Gtk 2.4 or higher


Also, for all modes, you need the XOrg or XFree headers. For RPM-based distro please install the package with a name "libx11_6-devel" (the version can be different).

OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES FOR ANY MODES:

   If you want the Aspell support (for spell-cheсking), you need to install the libaspellXX-devel package (where XX is the number of version) before you run ./configure. And what about the version? The modern one - that is the answer.
   To use Enchant (and disable Aspell), configure the source with "--enable-enchant" option. This turns off Aspell supporting.
   TEA can use zziplib (detected automatically) instead of external gunzip to work with ODT, KWD, etc. zziplib is available at see http://zziplib.sourceforge.net
   To use internet-related functions such as Check for broken links, please install libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl)


------------------------
notes: 

   If you are not the Debian-package maintainer, do not use the "--enable-debian" option for the configure-script. So if you have Debian, and want to build TEA from the source, run the ./configure without parameters.
   Also DON'T USE --enable-sounds. It's a non-implemented feature.
