2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	149 The simplest way to compile this package is:
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	150
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	151 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	152 `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	153 using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	154 `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	155 `configure' itself.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	156
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	157 Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	160 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	161
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	162 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	163 the package.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	165 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	166 documentation.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	169 source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	170 files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	172 also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	173 for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	174 all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	180 Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	181 the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	182 initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	183 a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	184 this:

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	192
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	193 You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	194 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	195 own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	196 supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	197 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	198 the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	199 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	201 If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	202 variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	203 in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	204 one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	210 By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	211 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	212 installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	213 option `--prefix=PATH'.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	215 You can specify separate installation prefixes for
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	216 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	217 give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	218 PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	219 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	220
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	221 In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	222 options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	223 kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	224 you can set and what kinds of files go in them.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	226 If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	227 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	233 Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	234 `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	235 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	236 is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	237 `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	240 For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	241 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	242 you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	243 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	248 There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	249 automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	250 will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	251 a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
