1Basic Installation 2================== 3 4 These are generic installation instructions. 5 6 The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for 7various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses 8those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. --- 17 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 26The simplest way to compile this package is: 27 28 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type 29 `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're 30 using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type 31 `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute 32 `configure' itself. 33 |
34 Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some |

Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with 40 the package. 41 42 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and --- 119 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 162 debugging `configure'. 163 164`--help' 165 Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit. 166 167`--quiet' 168`--silent' 169`-q' |
170 Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To 171 suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error 172 messages will still be shown). |
173 174`--srcdir=DIR' 175 Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually 176 `configure' can determine that directory automatically. 177 178`--version' 179 Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure' 180 script, and exit. 181 182`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. 183 |
