+ |
+Basic Installation |
+================== |
+ |
+ Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should |
+configure, build, and install this package. The following |
+more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README' file for |
+instructions specific to this package. |
+ |
+ The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for |
+various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses |
+those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. |
+It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent |
+definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that |
+you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a |
+file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for |
+debugging `configure'). |
+ |
+ It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache' |
+and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves |
+the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. Caching is |
+disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale |
+cache files. |
+ |
+ If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try |
+to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail |
+diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can |
+be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at |
+some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you |
+may remove or edit it. |
+ |
+ The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create |
+`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You need `configure.ac' if |
+you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version |
+of `autoconf'. |
+ |
+The simplest way to compile this package is: |
+ |
+ 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type |
+ `./configure' to configure the package for your system. |
+ |
+ Running `configure' might take a while. While running, it prints |
+ some messages telling which features it is checking for. |
+ |
+ 2. Type `make' to compile the package. |
+ |
+ 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with |
+ the package. |
+ |
+ 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and |
+ documentation. |
+ |
+ 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the |
+ source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the |
+ files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for |
+ a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is |
+ also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly |
+ for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get |
+ all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came |
+ with the distribution. |
+ |
+ 6. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed |
+ files again. |
+ |
+Compilers and Options |
+===================== |
+ |
+ Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that |
+the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' |
+for details on some of the pertinent environment variables. |
+ |
+ You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters |
+by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here |
+is an example: |
+ |
+ ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix |
+ |
+ *Note Defining Variables::, for more details. |
+ |
+Compiling For Multiple Architectures |
+==================================== |
+ |
+ You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the |
+same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their |
+own directory. To do this, you can use GNU `make'. `cd' to the |
+directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run |
+the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the |
+source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. |
+ |
+ With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one |
+architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have |
+installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before |
+reconfiguring for another architecture. |
+ |
+ On MacOS X 10.5 and later systems, you can create libraries and |
+executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or |
+"universal" binaries--by specifying multiple `-arch' options to the |
+compiler but only a single `-arch' option to the preprocessor. Like |
+this: |
+ |
+ ./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \ |
+ CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \ |
+ CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E" |
+ |
+ This is not guaranteed to produce working output in all cases, you |
+may have to build one architecture at a time and combine the results |
+using the `lipo' tool if you have problems. |
+ |
+Installation Names |
+================== |
+ |
+ By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under |
+`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You |
+can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving |
+`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'. |
+ |
+ You can specify separate installation prefixes for |
+architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you |
+pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses |
+PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. |
+Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix. |
+ |
+ In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give |
+options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular |
+kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories |
+you can set and what kinds of files go in them. |
+ |
+ If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed |
+with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the |
+option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. |
+ |
+Optional Features |
+================= |
+ |
+ Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to |
+`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. |
+They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE |
+is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The |
+`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the |
+package recognizes. |
+ |
+ For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually |
+find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, |
+you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and |
+`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. |
+ |
+Particular systems |
+================== |
+ |
+ On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible. If GNU |
+CC is not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in |
+order to use an ANSI C compiler: |
+ |
+ ./configure CC="cc -Ae -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500" |
+ |
+and if that doesn't work, install pre-built binaries of GCC for HP-UX. |
+ |
+ On OSF/1 a.k.a. Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot |
+parse its `<wchar.h>' header file. The option `-nodtk' can be used as |
+a workaround. If GNU CC is not installed, it is therefore recommended |
+to try |
+ |
+ ./configure CC="cc" |
+ |
+and if that doesn't work, try |
+ |
+ ./configure CC="cc -nodtk" |
+ |
+ On Solaris, don't put `/usr/ucb' early in your `PATH'. This |
+directory contains several dysfunctional programs; working variants of |
+these programs are available in `/usr/bin'. So, if you need `/usr/ucb' |
+in your `PATH', put it _after_ `/usr/bin'. |
+ |
+ On Haiku, software installed for all users goes in `/boot/common', |
+not `/usr/local'. It is recommended to use the following options: |
+ |
+ ./configure --prefix=/boot/common |
+ |
+Specifying the System Type |
+========================== |
+ |
+ There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out |
+automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package |
+will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the |
+_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints |
+a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the |
+`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system |
+type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form: |
+ |
+ CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM |
+ |
+where SYSTEM can have one of these forms: |
+ |
+ OS |
+ KERNEL-OS |
+ |
+ See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If |
+`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't |
+need to know the machine type. |
+ |
+ If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should |
+use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will |
+produce code for. |
+ |
+ If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a |
+platform different from the build platform, you should specify the |
+"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will |
+eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'. |
+ |
+Sharing Defaults |
+================ |
+ |
+ If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, |
+you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives |
+default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. |
+`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then |
+`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the |
+`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. |
+A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. |
+ |
+Defining Variables |
+================== |
+ |
+ Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the |
+environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run |
+configure again during the build, and the customized values of these |
+variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set |
+them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example: |
+ |
+ ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc |
+ |
+causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is |
+overridden in the site shell script). |
+ |
+Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to |
+an Autoconf bug. Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround: |
+ |
+ CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash |
+ |
+`configure' Invocation |
+====================== |
+ |
+ `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it |
+operates. |
+ |
+`--help' |
+`-h' |
+ Print a summary of all of the options to `configure', and exit. |
+ |
+`--help=short' |
+`--help=recursive' |
+ Print a summary of the options unique to this package's |
+ `configure', and exit. The `short' variant lists options used |
+ only in the top level, while the `recursive' variant lists options |
+ also present in any nested packages. |
+ |
+`--version' |
+`-V' |
+ Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' |
+ script, and exit. |
+ |
+`--cache-file=FILE' |
+ Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE, |
+ traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to |
+ disable caching. |
+ |
+`--config-cache' |
+`-C' |
+ Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'. |
+ |
+`--quiet' |
+`--silent' |
+`-q' |
+ Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To |
+ suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error |
+ messages will still be shown). |
+ |
+`--srcdir=DIR' |
+ Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually |
+ `configure' can determine that directory automatically. |
+ |
+`--prefix=DIR' |
+ Use DIR as the installation prefix. *Note Installation Names:: |
+ for more details, including other options available for fine-tuning |
+ the installation locations. |
+ |
+`--no-create' |
+`-n' |
+ Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output |
+ files. |
+ |
+`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run |
+`configure --help' for more details. |
