Compilation & Installation
--------------------------

You must install giFT before installing this plugin. 

The configure script uses pkg-config to search for giFT. If you have
installed giFT somewhere besides the default pkg-config lookup path, you
need to change the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable so configure can
find libgift.pc.

After installing, you should run the gift-setup script. If you want, you can
setup the plugin manually by adding "Gnutella" to the /main/plugins line in
~/.giFT/giftd.conf, like so:

	[main]
	plugins = OpenFT:Gnutella

You may also use a fully qualified path to the plugin filename:

	[main]
	plugins = OpenFT:/usr/local/lib/giFT/libGnutella.la

You can also specify the plugin on the command line:

	$ giftd -d -p Gnutella -p OpenFT


Configuration
-------------

The configuration file is in $HOME/.giFT/Gnutella/Gnutella.conf, and is created
if it doesn't exist.  The syntax of the config file is the same as other giFT
files.

gift-setup will set the default port to something random. You can change it by
editing the plugin's config file.  If this port isn't reachable, you will
receive less search results because you cannot download from firewalled users.
You may have to do some other configuration (forward the port on your firewall,
etc) to make the port reachable.
