49 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.
