1 Installation procedures for `send-pr' 2 3If you receive `send-pr' as part of a larger software distribution, it 4will be automatically installed when the full distribution is 5installed. The `send-pr' directory, however, is easily installed by 6itself by following these steps: 7 81. Unpack the distribution into a directory which we will refer to as 9 SRCDIR. 10 112. Edit the `Makefile' to reflect local conventions. 12 13 Specifically, you should edit the variable "prefix" to alter 14 the installation location. The default is '/usr/local'. All 15 files are installed under "prefix" (see below). 16 173. Run 18 make all install [ info ] install-info [ clean ] 19 20 from the "build directory". The targets mean the following: 21 22 all Builds `send-pr' and `install-sid' 23 24 install Installs the following: 25 26 send-pr into PREFIX/bin 27 install-sid into PREFIX/bin 28 send-pr.1 into PREFIX/man/man1 29 categories as PREFIX/lib/gnats/SITE 30 send-pr-el.in as PREFIX/lib/emacs/lisp/send-pr.el 31 32 info (optional) Builds "send-pr.info" from "send-pr.texi" 33 (send-pr.info is included with this distribution) 34 35install-info Installs "send-pr.info" into PREFIX/info 36 37 clean (optional) Removes all intermediary build files that can 38 be rebuilt from source code 39 404. Run 41 42 install-sid SID 43 44 where SID is the submitter identification code you received with 45 `send-pr'. If you've downloaded `send-pr' from the Net, use "net" 46 for this value. 47 48 495. Any users who wish to use the Emacs version of `send-pr' must place 50 the following line in their ".emacs" files: 51 52 (autoload 'send-pr "send-pr" "Submit a Problem Report." t) 53 54 556. Create a mail alias for the support site you received `send-pr' 56 from, and for every site with which you wish to use `send-pr' to 57 communicate with, each with a suffix of `-gnats'. The support 58 site(s) will provide the correct addresses toward which these 59 aliases should point. For instance, edit your mail aliases file 60 to contain something like: 61 62 # support sites; for use with send-pr 63 cygnus-gnats: bugs@cygnus.com # Cygnus Support 64 bumblebee-gnats: bumblebugs@bumblebee.com # Bumblebee BASIC, Inc. 65 mycompany-gnats: bugs@my.company.com (if you use GNATS locally) 66 67 `send-pr' automatically searches for these aliases when you type 68 69 send-pr cygnus 70 send-pr bumblebee 71 send-pr SITE... 72 73 `send-pr' also uses SITE to determine the categories of bugs the site 74 in question accepts by looking in PREFIX/lib/gnats/SITE 75 76 777. That's it! See "send-pr.info", "send-pr.texi", and/or "send-pr.1" for 78 information on using `send-pr'. 79 80 81Copyright (c) 1993, Free Software Foundation, Inc. 82See the file COPYING for copyright information concerning this 83distribution and all its components. 84
