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 need to add "Gnutella" to the [main]/plugins line
in ~/.giFT/gift.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 plugin will look read configuration information from
$HOME/.giFT/Gnutella/Gnutella.conf, and will copy a default version of
this file to the ~/.giFT/Gnutella directory if it doesn't exist when the
plugin starts. The syntax of the config file is the same as other giFT
files. It is not necessary to read this file.

The one option you will most likely want to change is the "port" option,
which is the port the plugin binds to for Gnutella connections. This
defaults to 6346. If this port is not reachable from the external
Internet, you will receive less results and downloads will be less
reliable.
