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, | |
