--- INSTALL for PATCHANCE ---

Before installing, please uninstall any existing Patchance installation:
$ [sudo] make uninstall

To install Patchance, simply run as usual:
$ make
$ [sudo] make install

Depending on the distribution (Fedora and others) you'll need to use the LRELEASE variable to build. If you don't have 'lrelease' executable but 'lrelease-qt5' use: $ make LRELEASE=lrelease-qt5
$ [sudo] make install

You can run Patchance without installing, by using instead:
$ make
$ ./src/patchance.py

Packagers can make use of the 'PREFIX' and 'DESTDIR' variable during install, like this:
$ make install PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=./test-dir

To uninstall Patchance, run:
$ [sudo] make uninstall
