 |   12 Basic Installation | 
 |   13 ================== | 
 |   14  | 
 |   15    Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should | 
 |   16 configure, build, and install this package.  The following | 
 |   17 more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README' file for | 
 |   18 instructions specific to this package.  Some packages provide this | 
 |   19 `INSTALL' file but do not implement all of the features documented | 
 |   20 below.  The lack of an optional feature in a given package is not | 
 |   21 necessarily a bug.  More recommendations for GNU packages can be found | 
 |   22 in *note Makefile Conventions: (standards)Makefile Conventions. | 
 |   23  | 
 |   24    The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for | 
 |   25 various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses | 
 |   26 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. | 
 |   27 It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent | 
 |   28 definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that | 
 |   29 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a | 
 |   30 file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for | 
 |   31 debugging `configure'). | 
 |   32  | 
 |   33    It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache' | 
 |   34 and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves | 
 |   35 the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring.  Caching is | 
 |   36 disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale | 
 |   37 cache files. | 
 |   38  | 
 |   39    If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try | 
 |   40 to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail | 
 |   41 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can | 
 |   42 be considered for the next release.  If you are using the cache, and at | 
 |   43 some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you | 
 |   44 may remove or edit it. | 
 |   45  | 
 |   46    The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create | 
 |   47 `configure' by a program called `autoconf'.  You need `configure.ac' if | 
 |   48 you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version | 
 |   49 of `autoconf'. | 
 |   50  | 
 |   51    The simplest way to compile this package is: | 
 |   52  | 
 |   53   1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type | 
 |   54      `./configure' to configure the package for your system. | 
 |   55  | 
 |   56      Running `configure' might take a while.  While running, it prints | 
 |   57      some messages telling which features it is checking for. | 
 |   58  | 
 |   59   2. Type `make' to compile the package. | 
 |   60  | 
 |   61   3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with | 
 |   62      the package, generally using the just-built uninstalled binaries. | 
 |   63  | 
 |   64   4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and | 
 |   65      documentation.  When installing into a prefix owned by root, it is | 
 |   66      recommended that the package be configured and built as a regular | 
 |   67      user, and only the `make install' phase executed with root | 
 |   68      privileges. | 
 |   69  | 
 |   70   5. Optionally, type `make installcheck' to repeat any self-tests, but | 
 |   71      this time using the binaries in their final installed location. | 
 |   72      This target does not install anything.  Running this target as a | 
 |   73      regular user, particularly if the prior `make install' required | 
 |   74      root privileges, verifies that the installation completed | 
 |   75      correctly. | 
 |   76  | 
 |   77   6. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the | 
 |   78      source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the | 
 |   79      files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for | 
 |   80      a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is | 
 |   81      also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly | 
 |   82      for the package's developers.  If you use it, you may have to get | 
 |   83      all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came | 
 |   84      with the distribution. | 
 |   85  | 
 |   86   7. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed | 
 |   87      files again.  In practice, not all packages have tested that | 
 |   88      uninstallation works correctly, even though it is required by the | 
 |   89      GNU Coding Standards. | 
 |   90  | 
 |   91   8. Some packages, particularly those that use Automake, provide `make | 
 |   92      distcheck', which can by used by developers to test that all other | 
 |   93      targets like `make install' and `make uninstall' work correctly. | 
 |   94      This target is generally not run by end users. | 
 |   95  | 
 |   96 Compilers and Options | 
 |   97 ===================== | 
 |   98  | 
 |   99    Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that | 
 |  100 the `configure' script does not know about.  Run `./configure --help' | 
 |  101 for details on some of the pertinent environment variables. | 
 |  102  | 
 |  103    You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters | 
 |  104 by setting variables in the command line or in the environment.  Here | 
 |  105 is an example: | 
 |  106  | 
 |  107      ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix | 
 |  108  | 
 |  109    *Note Defining Variables::, for more details. | 
 |  110  | 
 |  111 Compiling For Multiple Architectures | 
 |  112 ==================================== | 
 |  113  | 
 |  114    You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the | 
 |  115 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their | 
 |  116 own directory.  To do this, you can use GNU `make'.  `cd' to the | 
 |  117 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run | 
 |  118 the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the | 
 |  119 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.  This | 
 |  120 is known as a "VPATH" build. | 
 |  121  | 
 |  122    With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one | 
 |  123 architecture at a time in the source code directory.  After you have | 
 |  124 installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before | 
 |  125 reconfiguring for another architecture. | 
 |  126  | 
 |  127    On MacOS X 10.5 and later systems, you can create libraries and | 
 |  128 executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or | 
 |  129 "universal" binaries--by specifying multiple `-arch' options to the | 
 |  130 compiler but only a single `-arch' option to the preprocessor.  Like | 
 |  131 this: | 
 |  132  | 
 |  133      ./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \ | 
 |  134                  CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \ | 
 |  135                  CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E" | 
 |  136  | 
 |  137    This is not guaranteed to produce working output in all cases, you | 
 |  138 may have to build one architecture at a time and combine the results | 
 |  139 using the `lipo' tool if you have problems. | 
 |  140  | 
 |  141 Installation Names | 
 |  142 ================== | 
 |  143  | 
 |  144    By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under | 
 |  145 `/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc.  You | 
 |  146 can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving | 
 |  147 `configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX', where PREFIX must be an | 
 |  148 absolute file name. | 
 |  149  | 
 |  150    You can specify separate installation prefixes for | 
 |  151 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you | 
 |  152 pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses | 
 |  153 PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. | 
 |  154 Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix. | 
 |  155  | 
 |  156    In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give | 
 |  157 options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular | 
 |  158 kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories | 
 |  159 you can set and what kinds of files go in them.  In general, the | 
 |  160 default for these options is expressed in terms of `${prefix}', so that | 
 |  161 specifying just `--prefix' will affect all of the other directory | 
 |  162 specifications that were not explicitly provided. | 
 |  163  | 
 |  164    The most portable way to affect installation locations is to pass the | 
 |  165 correct locations to `configure'; however, many packages provide one or | 
 |  166 both of the following shortcuts of passing variable assignments to the | 
 |  167 `make install' command line to change installation locations without | 
 |  168 having to reconfigure or recompile. | 
 |  169  | 
 |  170    The first method involves providing an override variable for each | 
 |  171 affected directory.  For example, `make install | 
 |  172 prefix=/alternate/directory' will choose an alternate location for all | 
 |  173 directory configuration variables that were expressed in terms of | 
 |  174 `${prefix}'.  Any directories that were specified during `configure', | 
 |  175 but not in terms of `${prefix}', must each be overridden at install | 
 |  176 time for the entire installation to be relocated.  The approach of | 
 |  177 makefile variable overrides for each directory variable is required by | 
 |  178 the GNU Coding Standards, and ideally causes no recompilation. | 
 |  179 However, some platforms have known limitations with the semantics of | 
 |  180 shared libraries that end up requiring recompilation when using this | 
 |  181 method, particularly noticeable in packages that use GNU Libtool. | 
 |  182  | 
 |  183    The second method involves providing the `DESTDIR' variable.  For | 
 |  184 example, `make install DESTDIR=/alternate/directory' will prepend | 
 |  185 `/alternate/directory' before all installation names.  The approach of | 
 |  186 `DESTDIR' overrides is not required by the GNU Coding Standards, and | 
 |  187 does not work on platforms that have drive letters.  On the other hand, | 
 |  188 it does better at avoiding recompilation issues, and works well even | 
 |  189 when some directory options were not specified in terms of `${prefix}' | 
 |  190 at `configure' time. | 
 |  191  | 
 |  192 Optional Features | 
 |  193 ================= | 
 |  194  | 
 |  195    If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed | 
 |  196 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the | 
 |  197 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. | 
 |  198  | 
 |  199    Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to | 
 |  200 `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. | 
 |  201 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE | 
 |  202 is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The | 
 |  203 `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the | 
 |  204 package recognizes. | 
 |  205  | 
 |  206    For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually | 
 |  207 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, | 
 |  208 you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and | 
 |  209 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. | 
 |  210  | 
 |  211    Some packages offer the ability to configure how verbose the | 
 |  212 execution of `make' will be.  For these packages, running `./configure | 
 |  213 --enable-silent-rules' sets the default to minimal output, which can be | 
 |  214 overridden with `make V=1'; while running `./configure | 
 |  215 --disable-silent-rules' sets the default to verbose, which can be | 
 |  216 overridden with `make V=0'. | 
 |  217  | 
 |  218 Particular systems | 
 |  219 ================== | 
 |  220  | 
 |  221    On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible.  If GNU | 
 |  222 CC is not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in | 
 |  223 order to use an ANSI C compiler: | 
 |  224  | 
 |  225      ./configure CC="cc -Ae -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500" | 
 |  226  | 
 |  227 and if that doesn't work, install pre-built binaries of GCC for HP-UX. | 
 |  228  | 
 |  229    HP-UX `make' updates targets which have the same time stamps as | 
 |  230 their prerequisites, which makes it generally unusable when shipped | 
 |  231 generated files such as `configure' are involved.  Use GNU `make' | 
 |  232 instead. | 
 |  233  | 
 |  234    On OSF/1 a.k.a. Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot | 
 |  235 parse its `<wchar.h>' header file.  The option `-nodtk' can be used as | 
 |  236 a workaround.  If GNU CC is not installed, it is therefore recommended | 
 |  237 to try | 
 |  238  | 
 |  239      ./configure CC="cc" | 
 |  240  | 
 |  241 and if that doesn't work, try | 
 |  242  | 
 |  243      ./configure CC="cc -nodtk" | 
 |  244  | 
 |  245    On Solaris, don't put `/usr/ucb' early in your `PATH'.  This | 
 |  246 directory contains several dysfunctional programs; working variants of | 
 |  247 these programs are available in `/usr/bin'.  So, if you need `/usr/ucb' | 
 |  248 in your `PATH', put it _after_ `/usr/bin'. | 
 |  249  | 
 |  250    On Haiku, software installed for all users goes in `/boot/common', | 
 |  251 not `/usr/local'.  It is recommended to use the following options: | 
 |  252  | 
 |  253      ./configure --prefix=/boot/common | 
 |  254  | 
 |  255 Specifying the System Type | 
 |  256 ========================== | 
 |  257  | 
 |  258    There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out | 
 |  259 automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package | 
 |  260 will run on.  Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the | 
 |  261 _same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints | 
 |  262 a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the | 
 |  263 `--build=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system | 
 |  264 type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form: | 
 |  265  | 
 |  266      CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM | 
 |  267  | 
 |  268 where SYSTEM can have one of these forms: | 
 |  269  | 
 |  270      OS | 
 |  271      KERNEL-OS | 
 |  272  | 
 |  273    See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If | 
 |  274 `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't | 
 |  275 need to know the machine type. | 
 |  276  | 
 |  277    If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should | 
 |  278 use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will | 
 |  279 produce code for. | 
 |  280  | 
 |  281    If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a | 
 |  282 platform different from the build platform, you should specify the | 
 |  283 "host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will | 
 |  284 eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'. | 
 |  285  | 
 |  286 Sharing Defaults | 
 |  287 ================ | 
 |  288  | 
 |  289    If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, | 
 |  290 you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives | 
 |  291 default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. | 
 |  292 `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then | 
 |  293 `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the | 
 |  294 `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. | 
 |  295 A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. | 
 |  296  | 
 |  297 Defining Variables | 
 |  298 ================== | 
 |  299  | 
 |  300    Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the | 
 |  301 environment passed to `configure'.  However, some packages may run | 
 |  302 configure again during the build, and the customized values of these | 
 |  303 variables may be lost.  In order to avoid this problem, you should set | 
 |  304 them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'.  For example: | 
 |  305  | 
 |  306      ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc | 
 |  307  | 
 |  308 causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is | 
 |  309 overridden in the site shell script). | 
 |  310  | 
 |  311 Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to | 
 |  312 an Autoconf bug.  Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround: | 
 |  313  | 
 |  314      CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash | 
 |  315  | 
 |  316 `configure' Invocation | 
 |  317 ====================== | 
 |  318  | 
 |  319    `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it | 
 |  320 operates. | 
 |  321  | 
 |  322 `--help' | 
 |  323 `-h' | 
 |  324      Print a summary of all of the options to `configure', and exit. | 
 |  325  | 
 |  326 `--help=short' | 
 |  327 `--help=recursive' | 
 |  328      Print a summary of the options unique to this package's | 
 |  329      `configure', and exit.  The `short' variant lists options used | 
 |  330      only in the top level, while the `recursive' variant lists options | 
 |  331      also present in any nested packages. | 
 |  332  | 
 |  333 `--version' | 
 |  334 `-V' | 
 |  335      Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' | 
 |  336      script, and exit. | 
 |  337  | 
 |  338 `--cache-file=FILE' | 
 |  339      Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE, | 
 |  340      traditionally `config.cache'.  FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to | 
 |  341      disable caching. | 
 |  342  | 
 |  343 `--config-cache' | 
 |  344 `-C' | 
 |  345      Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'. | 
 |  346  | 
 |  347 `--quiet' | 
 |  348 `--silent' | 
 |  349 `-q' | 
 |  350      Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To | 
 |  351      suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error | 
 |  352      messages will still be shown). | 
 |  353  | 
 |  354 `--srcdir=DIR' | 
 |  355      Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually | 
 |  356      `configure' can determine that directory automatically. | 
 |  357  | 
 |  358 `--prefix=DIR' | 
 |  359      Use DIR as the installation prefix.  *note Installation Names:: | 
 |  360      for more details, including other options available for fine-tuning | 
 |  361      the installation locations. | 
 |  362  | 
 |  363 `--no-create' | 
 |  364 `-n' | 
 |  365      Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output | 
 |  366      files. | 
 |  367  | 
 |  368 `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.  Run | 
 |  369 `configure --help' for more details. |
