| 2 | howto compile and install this package | |
| 3 | ====================================== | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | ||
| 6 | really short install instructions | |
| 7 | --------------------------------- | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | $ make | |
| 10 | $ su -c "make install" | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | ||
| 13 | ||
| 14 | the more detailed version | |
| 15 | ------------------------- | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Make sure you use GNU make. The file name "GNUmakefile" isn't a joke, | |
| 18 | this package really requires GNU make. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | As first step make will do some config checks on your system and write | |
| 21 | the results to Make.config. If you want to have a look at Make.config | |
| 22 | before the actual build starts you can run this step separately using | |
| 23 | "make config". | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | The Makefiles use the usual GNU-ish Makefile conventions for variable | |
| 26 | names and default values, i.e. prefix=/usr/local, ... | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | The values for some frequently adapted variables are initialized from | |
| 29 | the enviroment. Thus you can change the defaults simply by setting | |
| 30 | environment variables: | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | $ prefix="/usr" | |
| 33 | $ CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=i686" | |
| 34 | $ export prefix CFLAGS | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | Almost any variable can be overridden on the make command line. It is | |
| 37 | often used this way to install into some buildroot for packaging ... | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | $ su -c "make DESTDIR=/tmp/buildroot install" | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | ... but it works for most other variables equally well. There are | |
| 42 | some exceptions through, it usually does _not_ work for CFLAGS for | |
| 43 | example. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Try "make verbose=yes" if you want to see the complete command lines | |
| 46 | executed by make instead of the short messages (for trouble shooting, | |
| 47 | because you like this way, for whatever reason ...). This also makes | |
| 48 | the config checks performed by "make config" more verbose. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | If you don't trust my Makefiles you can run "make -n install" to see | |
| 51 | what "make install" would do on your system. It will produce | |
| 52 | human-readable output (unlike automake ...). | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | Have fun, | |
| 55 | ||
