To enable the Hebrew -support, specify --enable-gtk-hebrew=. If the path starts with a -tilde (~), it is taken relative to your home directory. Here's a good -idea: - - configure --enable-gtk-hebrew=~/.gnome/irssi-hebrew.gtkrc - -After compiling and installing, you should copy the supplied gtkrc -file to where you told the program it would find it. Say you're at the -root of the irssi source tree, typing: - - cp src/gui-gnome/irssi-hebrew.gtkrc ~/.gnome/irssi-hebrew.gtkrc - -would do the trick. - -One last configuration task is done from within irssi.
