Installing linuxdcpp

linuxdcpp is a very good dc++ client for Linux. In case it is not available in any standard repositories (a case with CentOS) then we can download its latest source from https://launchpad.net/linuxdcpp and then compile it from source. Steps to compile and install from source are:

1. Downloaded latest source from https://launchpad.net/linuxdcpp
2. Extract source code files
3. Install 'scons' using yum
4. Go to source folder and type 'scons' and press enter. (This is similar to typing 'make')
5. If compilation succeeds then type 'scons install' and press enter. (This is similar to typing 'make install')
6. You can create icon for linuxdcpp in Menu. The icon is usually stored in /usr/local/share/linuxdcpp/pixmaps and name of executable is linuxdcpp.
