Basic Installation
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Briefly, the shell command `./configure && make && make install` should
|
|
configure, build, and install this package. The following more-detailed
|
|
instruction are generic; see the `README` file for instructions specific to
|
|
this package.
|
|
|
|
The `configure` shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
|
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
|
those values within a `Makefile` to build for that POSIX system as
|
|
defined by `config.mak` which was generated by `configure`.
|
|
|
|
Compilers and Options
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Some systems require unusal options for compilation or linking that
|
|
the `configure` script does not know about. If you run into an issue
|
|
run `./configure --help` to figure out what you can do to fix the
|
|
behavoir.
|
|
|
|
Installation Names
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
By default, `make install` installs the package's command under
|
|
`/usr/local/bin`. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local/`
|
|
by giving `configure` the option `--prefix=PREFIX` to `configure`, the package uses
|
|
PREFIX as the prefix for installation programs and libraries.
|
|
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
|
|
|
|
`configure` Invokation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
`configure` recongizes the following options to control its operations.
|
|
|
|
`--help`
|
|
Prints a summary of all the options to `configure`, and exits.
|
|
`--prefix=PREFIX`
|
|
Sets the installation prefix.
|
|
`CFLAGS`
|
|
Sets the flags used during compilation.
|
|
|
|
`configure` also accepts some other options. Run `configure --help` for more
|
|
