Configure the package for your system. In the directory that this +file is in, type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old +version of System V, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to +prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. + +The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for +various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and +creates the Makefile(s) (one in each subdirectory of the source +directory). In some packages it creates a C header file containing +system-dependent definitions. It also creates a file `config.status' +that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration. + +Running `configure' takes a minute or two. While it is running, it +prints some messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to +see the messages, run `configure' with its standard output redirected +to `/dev/null'; for example, `./configure >/dev/null'. + +To compile the package in a different directory from the one +containing the source code, you must use a version of `make' that +supports the VPATH variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory +where you want the object files and executables to go and run +`configure'. `configure' automatically checks for the source code in +the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If for some reason +`configure' is not in the source code directory that you are +configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source code. +In that case, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where +DIR is the directory that contains the source code. + +By default, `make install' will install the package's files in +/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/man, etc. You can specify an +installation prefix other than /usr/local by giving `configure' the option +`--prefix=PATH'. Alternately, you can do so by consistently giving a value +for the `prefix' variable when you run `make', e.g., + make prefix=/usr/gnu + make prefix=/usr/gnu install + +You can specify separate installation prefixes for +architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If +you give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH' or set the +`make' variable `exec_prefix' to PATH, the package will use PATH as +the prefix for installing programs and libraries. Data files and +documentation will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files +are installed using the regular prefix. + +Another `configure' option is useful mainly in `Makefile' rules for +updating `config.status' and `Makefile'. The `--no-create' option +figures out the configuration for your system and records it in +`config.status', without actually configuring the package (creating +`Makefile's and perhaps a configuration header file). Later, you can +run `./config.status' to actually configure the package. You can also +give `config.status' the `--recheck' option, which makes it re-run +`configure' with the same arguments you used before. This option is +useful if you change `configure'. + +Some packages pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options to `configure', +where PACKAGE is something like `gnu-libc' or `x' (for the X Window System). +The README should mention any --with- options that the package recognizes. + +`configure' ignores any other arguments that you give it. + +If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking +that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial +values for some variables by setting them in the environment. In +Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like +this: + CC='gcc -traditional' DEFS=-D_POSIX_SOURCE ./configure + +The `make' variables that you might want to override with environment +variables when running `configure' are: + +(For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the +value that `configure' would choose:) +CC C compiler program. + Default is `cc', or `gcc' if `gcc' is in your PATH. +INSTALL Program to use to install files. + Default is `install' if you have it, `cp' otherwise. + +(For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to +the value that `configure' chooses:) +DEFS Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar ...' + Do not use this variable in packages that create a + configuration header file. +LIBS Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar ...' + +If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage +you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and +mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we +can include them in the next release. + +2. Type `make' to compile the package. If you want, you can override +the `make' variables CFLAGS and LDFLAGS like this: + + make CFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS=-s + +3. If the package comes with self-tests and you want to run them, +type `make check'. If you're not sure whether there are any, try it; +if `make' responds with something like + make: *** No way to make target `check'. Stop. +then the package does not come with self-tests. + +4. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and +documentation. + +5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the +source directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the +Makefile(s), the header file containing system-dependent definitions +(if the package uses one), and `config.status' (all the files that +`configure' created), type `make distclean'. + +The file `configure.in' is used as a template to create `configure' by +a program called `autoconf'. You will only need it if you want to +regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. |
