INSTALL revision 1.1.1.1.28.2
1 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Basic Installation 2 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ================== 3 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 4 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh These are generic *nix installation instructions. 5 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 6 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh For Windows/NT, please see ports/winnt and html/build/hints/winnt.html. 7 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 8 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for 9 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses 10 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. 11 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent 12 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that 13 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file 14 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up 15 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output 16 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh (useful mainly for debugging `configure'). 17 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 18 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try 19 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail 20 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can 21 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache' 22 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it. 23 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 24 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program 25 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change 26 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. 27 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 28 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh The simplest way to compile this package is: 29 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 30 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type 31 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're 32 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type 33 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute 34 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `configure' itself. 35 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 36 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some 37 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh messages telling which features it is checking for. 38 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 39 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 2. Type `make' to compile the package. 40 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 41 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with 42 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh the package. 43 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 44 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and 45 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh documentation. 46 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 47 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the 48 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the 49 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for 50 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is 51 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly 52 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get 53 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came 54 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh with the distribution. 55 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 56 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Compilers and Options 57 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ===================== 58 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 59 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that 60 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure' 61 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using 62 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like 63 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh this: 64 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure 65 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 66 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: 67 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure 68 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 69 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Compiling For Multiple Architectures 70 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ==================================== 71 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 72 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the 73 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their 74 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that 75 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the 76 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run 77 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the 78 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. 79 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 80 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH' 81 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time 82 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for 83 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another 84 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh architecture. 85 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 86 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Installation Names 87 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ================== 88 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 89 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh By default, `make install' will install the package's files in 90 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an 91 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the 92 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh option `--prefix=PATH'. 93 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 94 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh You can specify separate installation prefixes for 95 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you 96 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use 97 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. 98 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. 99 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 100 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed 101 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the 102 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. 103 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 104 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Optional Features 105 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ================= 106 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 107 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to 108 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. 109 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE 110 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The 111 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the 112 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh package recognizes. 113 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 114 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually 115 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, 116 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and 117 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. 118 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 119 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Specifying the System Type 120 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ========================== 121 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 122 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh There may be some features `configure' can not figure out 123 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package 124 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints 125 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the 126 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system 127 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields: 128 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM 129 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 130 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If 131 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't 132 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh need to know the host type. 133 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 134 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also 135 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will 136 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of 137 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh system on which you are compiling the package. 138 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 139 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Sharing Defaults 140 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ================ 141 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 142 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, 143 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives 144 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. 145 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then 146 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the 147 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. 148 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. 149 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 150 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Operation Controls 151 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh ================== 152 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 153 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it 154 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh operates. 155 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 156 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--cache-file=FILE' 157 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of 158 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for 159 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh debugging `configure'. 160 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 161 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--help' 162 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. 163 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 164 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--quiet' 165 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--silent' 166 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `-q' 167 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. 168 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 169 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--srcdir=DIR' 170 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually 171 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `configure' can determine that directory automatically. 172 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 173 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `--version' 174 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' 175 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh script, and exit. 176 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 177 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. 178 1.1.1.1.28.2 msaitoh 179
