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. |
|
|
| |

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 |
|
|
