|
| +Basic Installation
|
| +==================
|
| +
|
| + These are generic installation instructions.
|
| +
|
| + The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
| +various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
| +those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
|
| +It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
| +definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
| +you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
|
| +`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
|
| +reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
|
| +(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
|
| +
|
| + If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
|
| +to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
| +diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
|
| +be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
|
| +contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
|
| +
|
| + The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
| +called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
|
| +it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
| +
|
| +The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
| +
|
| + 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
| + `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
| + using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
| + `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
|
| + `configure' itself.
|
| +
|
| + Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some
|
| + messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
| +
|
| + 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
| +
|
| + 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
|
| + the package.
|
| +
|
| + 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
| + documentation.
|
| +
|
| + 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
| + source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
| + files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
| + a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
|
| + also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
|
| + for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
|
| + all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
|
| + with the distribution.
|
| +
|
| +Compilers and Options
|
| +=====================
|
| +
|
| + Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
| +the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
|
| +initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
|
| +a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
|
| +this:
|
| + CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
|
| +
|
| +Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
|
| + env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
|
| +
|
| +Compiling For Multiple Architectures
|
| +====================================
|
| +
|
| + You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
|
| +same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
|
| +own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
|
| +supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
|
| +directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
|
| +the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
|
| +source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
|
| +
|
| + If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
|
| +variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
|
| +in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
|
| +one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
|
| +architecture.
|
| +
|
| +Installation Names
|
| +==================
|
| +
|
| + By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
|
| +`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
|
| +installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
|
| +option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
| +
|
| + You can specify separate installation prefixes for
|
| +architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
|
| +give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
|
| +PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
|
| +Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
|
| +
|
| + In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
|
| +options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
|
| +kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
|
| +you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
|
| +
|
| + If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
|
| +with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
|
| +option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
|
| +
|
| +Optional Features
|
| +=================
|
| +
|
| + Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
|
| +`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
|
| +They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
|
| +is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
|
| +`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
|
| +package recognizes.
|
| +
|
| + For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
|
| +find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
|
| +you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
|
| +`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
|
| +
|
| +Specifying the System Type
|
| +==========================
|
| +
|
| + There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
|
| +automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
|
| +will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
|
| +a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
|
| +`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
| +type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
|
| + CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
| +
|
| +See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
| +`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
|
| +need to know the host type.
|
| +
|
| + If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
|
| +use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
|
| +produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
|
| +system on which you are compiling the package.
|
| +
|
| +Sharing Defaults
|
| +================
|
| +
|
| + If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
|
| +you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
|
| +default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
| +`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
| +`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
| +`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
| +A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
| +
|
| +Operation Controls
|
| +==================
|
| +
|
| + `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
|
| +operates.
|
| +
|
| +`--cache-file=FILE'
|
| + Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
|
| + `./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
|
| + debugging `configure'.
|
| +
|
| +`--help'
|
| + Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
|
| +
|
| +`--quiet'
|
| +`--silent'
|
| +`-q'
|
| + Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
|
| + suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
|
| + messages will still be shown).
|
| +
|
| +`--srcdir=DIR'
|
| + Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
|
| + `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
|
| +
|
| +`--version'
|
| + Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
| + script, and exit.
|
| +
|
| +`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
