Basic Installation |
|
|
2 |
================== |
|
|
3 |
|
|
|
4 |
These are generic installation instructions. |
|
|
5 |
|
|
|
6 |
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for |
|
|
7 |
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses |
|
|
8 |
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. |
|
|
9 |
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent |
|
|
10 |
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that |
|
|
11 |
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file |
|
|
12 |
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up |
|
|
13 |
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output |
|
|
14 |
(useful mainly for debugging `configure'). |
|
|
15 |
|
|
|
16 |
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try |
|
|
17 |
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail |
|
|
18 |
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can |
|
|
19 |
be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache' |
|
|
20 |
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it. |
|
|
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program |
|
|
23 |
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change |
|
|
24 |
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. |
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
The simplest way to compile this package is: |
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type |
|
|
29 |
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're |
|
|
30 |
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type |
|
|
31 |
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute |
|
|
32 |
`configure' itself. |
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some |
|
|
35 |
messages telling which features it is checking for. |
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
2. Type `make' to compile the package. |
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and |
|
|
40 |
documentation. |
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the |
|
|
43 |
source code directory by typing `make clean'. |
|
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
Compilers and Options |
|
|
46 |
===================== |
|
|
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that |
|
|
49 |
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure' |
|
|
50 |
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using |
|
|
51 |
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like |
|
|
52 |
this: |
|
|
53 |
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure |
|
|
54 |
|
|
|
55 |
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: |
|
|
56 |
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure |
|
|
57 |
|
|
|
58 |
Compiling For Multiple Architectures |
|
|
59 |
==================================== |
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the |
|
|
62 |
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their |
|
|
63 |
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that |
|
|
64 |
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the |
|
|
65 |
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run |
|
|
66 |
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the |
|
|
67 |
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. |
|
|
68 |
|
|
|
69 |
If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH' |
|
|
70 |
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time |
|
|
71 |
in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for |
|
|
72 |
one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another |
|
|
73 |
architecture. |
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
Installation Names |
|
|
76 |
================== |
|
|
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in |
|
|
79 |
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an |
|
|
80 |
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the |
|
|
81 |
option `--prefix=PATH'. |
|
|
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
You can specify separate installation prefixes for |
|
|
84 |
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you |
|
|
85 |
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use |
|
|
86 |
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. |
|
|
87 |
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. |
|
|
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed |
|
|
90 |
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the |
|
|
91 |
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. |
|
|
92 |
|
|
|
93 |
Optional Features |
|
|
94 |
================= |
|
|
95 |
|
|
|
96 |
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to |
|
|
97 |
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. |
|
|
98 |
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE |
|
|
99 |
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The |
|
|
100 |
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the |
|
|
101 |
package recognizes. |
|
|
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually |
|
|
104 |
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, |
|
|
105 |
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and |
|
|
106 |
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. |
|
|
107 |
|
|
|
108 |
Specifying the System Type |
|
|
109 |
========================== |
|
|
110 |
|
|
|
111 |
There may be some features `configure' can not figure out |
|
|
112 |
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package |
|
|
113 |
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints |
|
|
114 |
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the |
|
|
115 |
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system |
|
|
116 |
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields: |
|
|
117 |
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM |
|
|
118 |
|
|
|
119 |
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If |
|
|
120 |
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't |
|
|
121 |
need to know the host type. |
|
|
122 |
|
|
|
123 |
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also |
|
|
124 |
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will |
|
|
125 |
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of |
|
|
126 |
system on which you are compiling the package. |
|
|
127 |
|
|
|
128 |
Sharing Defaults |
|
|
129 |
================ |
|
|
130 |
|
|
|
131 |
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, |
|
|
132 |
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives |
|
|
133 |
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. |
|
|
134 |
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then |
|
|
135 |
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the |
|
|
136 |
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. |
|
|
137 |
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. |
|
|
138 |
|
|
|
139 |
Operation Controls |
|
|
140 |
================== |
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it |
|
|
143 |
operates. |
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
`--cache-file=FILE' |
|
|
146 |
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of |
|
|
147 |
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for |
|
|
148 |
debugging `configure'. |
|
|
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
`--help' |
|
|
151 |
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. |
|
|
152 |
|
|
|
153 |
`--quiet' |
|
|
154 |
`--silent' |
|
|
155 |
`-q' |
|
|
156 |
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. |
|
|
157 |
|
|
|
158 |
`--srcdir=DIR' |
|
|
159 |
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually |
|
|
160 |
`configure' can determine that directory automatically. |
|
|
161 |
|
|
|
162 |
`--version' |
|
|
163 |
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' |
|
|
164 |
script, and exit. |
|
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. |
|
|
167 |
|
