2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	132 to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	133 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	134 be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	137 The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	138 called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	139 it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	141 The simplest way to compile this package is:
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	142
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	143 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	144 `./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	145 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	146 `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	147 `configure' itself.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	148
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	149 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	150 messages telling which features it is checking for.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	151
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	152 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	153
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	154 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	155 the package.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	157 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	158 documentation.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	160 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	161 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	162 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	163 a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	164 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	165 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	166 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	167 with the distribution.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	171
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	172 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	173 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	174 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	175 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	176 this:
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	177 CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	183 ====================================
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	184
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	185 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	186 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	187 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	188 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	189 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	190 the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	191 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	193 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	194 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	195 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	196 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	202 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	203 `/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	204 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	205 option `--prefix=PATH'.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	207 You can specify separate installation prefixes for
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	208 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	209 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	210 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	211 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	212
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	213 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	214 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	215 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	216 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	217
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	218 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	219 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	220 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	225 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	226 `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	227 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	228 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	229 `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	232 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	233 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	234 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	235 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	240 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	241 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	242 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	243 a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
