49 sysadm 1.1 Basic Installation
50     ==================
51    
52     These are generic installation instructions.
53    
54     The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
55     various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
56     those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
57     It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
58     definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
59     you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
60     file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
61     debugging `configure').
62    
63     It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
64     and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
65     the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
66     disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
67     cache files.)
68    
69     If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
70     to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
71     diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
72     be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
73     some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
74     may remove or edit it.
75    
76     The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
77     `configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
78     `configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
79     a newer version of `autoconf'.
80    
81     The simplest way to compile this package is:
82    
83     1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
84     `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
85     using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
86     `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
87     `configure' itself.
88    
89     Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
90     messages telling which features it is checking for.
91    
92     2. Type `make' to compile the package.
93    
94     3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
95     the package.
96    
97     4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
98     documentation.
99    
100     5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
101     source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
102     files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
103     a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
104     also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
105     for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
106     all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
107     with the distribution.
108    
109     Compilers and Options
110     =====================
111    
112     Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
113     the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help'
114     for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
115    
116     You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
117     by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
118     is an example:
119    
120     ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
121    
122     *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
123    
124     Compiling For Multiple Architectures
125     ====================================
126    
127     You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
128     same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
129     own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
130     supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
131     directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
132     the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
133     source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
134    
135     If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
136     variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
137     time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
138     package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
139     for another architecture.
140    
141     Installation Names
142     ==================
143    
144     By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
145     `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
146     installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
147     option `--prefix=PATH'.
148    
149     You can specify separate installation prefixes for
150     architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
151     give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
152     PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
153     Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
154    
155     In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
156     options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
157     kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
158     you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
159    
160     If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
161     with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
162     option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
163    
164     Optional Features
165     =================
166    
167     Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
168     `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
169     They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
170     is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
171     `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
172     package recognizes.
173    
174     For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
175     find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
176     you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
177     `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
178    
179     Specifying the System Type
180     ==========================
181    
182     There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
183     automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
184     will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
185     _same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
186     a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
187     `--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
188     type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
189    
190     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
191    
192     where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
193    
194     OS KERNEL-OS
195    
196     See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
197     `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
198     need to know the machine type.
199    
200     If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
201     use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
202     produce code for.
203    
204     If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
205     platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
206     "host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
207     eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
208    
209     Sharing Defaults
210     ================
211    
212     If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
213     you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
214     default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
215     `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
216     `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
217     `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
218     A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
219    
220     Defining Variables
221     ==================
222    
223     Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
224     environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
225     configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
226     variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
227     them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
228    
229     ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
230    
231     will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
232     overridden in the site shell script).
233    
234     `configure' Invocation
235     ======================
236    
237     `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
238     operates.
239    
240     `--help'
241     `-h'
242     Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
243    
244     `--version'
245     `-V'
246     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
247     script, and exit.
248    
249     `--cache-file=FILE'
250     Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
251     traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
252     disable caching.
253    
254     `--config-cache'
255     `-C'
256     Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
257    
258     `--quiet'
259     `--silent'
260     `-q'
261     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
262     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
263     messages will still be shown).
264    
265     `--srcdir=DIR'
266     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
267     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
268    
269     `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
270     `configure --help' for more details.
