================== |

< |
BeOS: |
| 5 |
< |
If you have a binary distribution of mon for BeOS, there are executables |
| 6 |
< |
for BeOS/PPC and/or BeOS/x86 included. If you have the source distribution, |
| 7 |
< |
do the following: |
| 8 |
< |
|
| 9 |
< |
cd src/BeOS |
| 10 |
< |
make |
| 11 |
< |
|
| 12 |
< |
This will produce an executable "mon" in the "obj.ppc" or "obj.x86" |
| 13 |
< |
directory. To compile mon, you need the GNU readline library (which comes |
| 14 |
< |
as part of the "bash" archive in the GNU sources that are distributed |
| 15 |
< |
with BeOS). |
| 16 |
< |
|
| 17 |
< |
Unix: |
| 18 |
< |
To compile mon, do the following: |
| 19 |
< |
|
| 20 |
< |
cd src/Unix |
| 21 |
< |
./configure |
| 22 |
< |
make |
| 23 |
< |
make install [optionally] |
| 4 |
> |
These are generic installation instructions. |
| 5 |
> |
|
| 6 |
> |
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for |
| 7 |
> |
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses |
| 8 |
> |
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. |
| 9 |
> |
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent |
| 10 |
> |
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that |
| 11 |
> |
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file |
| 12 |
> |
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up |
| 13 |
> |
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output |
| 14 |
> |
(useful mainly for debugging `configure'). |
| 15 |
> |
|
| 16 |
> |
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try |
| 17 |
> |
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail |
| 18 |
> |
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can |
| 19 |
> |
be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache' |
| 20 |
> |
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it. |
| 21 |
> |
|
| 22 |
> |
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program |
| 23 |
> |
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change |
| 24 |
> |
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'. |
| 25 |
> |
|
| 26 |
> |
The 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 awhile. While running, it prints some |
| 35 |
> |
messages telling which features it is checking for. |
| 36 |
> |
|
| 37 |
> |
2. Type `make' to compile the package. |
| 38 |
> |
|
| 39 |
> |
3. 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 |
| 43 |
> |
documentation. |
| 44 |
> |
|
| 45 |
> |
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the |
| 46 |
> |
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the |
| 47 |
> |
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for |
| 48 |
> |
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is |
| 49 |
> |
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly |
| 50 |
> |
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get |
| 51 |
> |
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came |
| 52 |
> |
with the distribution. |
| 53 |
> |
|
| 54 |
> |
Compilers and Options |
| 55 |
> |
===================== |
| 56 |
> |
|
| 57 |
> |
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that |
| 58 |
> |
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure' |
| 59 |
> |
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using |
| 60 |
> |
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like |
| 61 |
> |
this: |
| 62 |
> |
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure |
| 63 |
> |
|
| 64 |
> |
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: |
| 65 |
> |
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure |
| 66 |
> |
|
| 67 |
> |
Compiling For Multiple Architectures |
| 68 |
> |
==================================== |
| 69 |
> |
|
| 70 |
> |
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the |
| 71 |
> |
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their |
| 72 |
> |
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that |
| 73 |
> |
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the |
| 74 |
> |
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run |
| 75 |
> |
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the |
| 76 |
> |
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. |
| 77 |
> |
|
| 78 |
> |
If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH' |
| 79 |
> |
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time |
| 80 |
> |
in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for |
| 81 |
> |
one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another |
| 82 |
> |
architecture. |
| 83 |
> |
|
| 84 |
> |
Installation Names |
| 85 |
> |
================== |
| 86 |
> |
|
| 87 |
> |
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in |
| 88 |
> |
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an |
| 89 |
> |
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the |
| 90 |
> |
option `--prefix=PATH'. |
| 91 |
> |
|
| 92 |
> |
You can specify separate installation prefixes for |
| 93 |
> |
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you |
| 94 |
> |
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use |
| 95 |
> |
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. |
| 96 |
> |
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. |
| 97 |
> |
|
| 98 |
> |
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give |
| 99 |
> |
options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular |
| 100 |
> |
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories |
| 101 |
> |
you can set and what kinds of files go in them. |
| 102 |
> |
|
| 103 |
> |
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed |
| 104 |
> |
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the |
| 105 |
> |
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'. |
| 106 |
> |
|
| 107 |
> |
Optional Features |
| 108 |
> |
================= |
| 109 |
> |
|
| 110 |
> |
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to |
| 111 |
> |
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. |
| 112 |
> |
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE |
| 113 |
> |
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The |
| 114 |
> |
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the |
| 115 |
> |
package recognizes. |
| 116 |
> |
|
| 117 |
> |
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually |
| 118 |
> |
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't, |
| 119 |
> |
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and |
| 120 |
> |
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations. |
| 121 |
> |
|
| 122 |
> |
Specifying the System Type |
| 123 |
> |
========================== |
| 124 |
> |
|
| 125 |
> |
There may be some features `configure' can not figure out |
| 126 |
> |
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package |
| 127 |
> |
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints |
| 128 |
> |
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the |
| 129 |
> |
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system |
| 130 |
> |
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields: |
| 131 |
> |
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM |
| 132 |
> |
|
| 133 |
> |
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If |
| 134 |
> |
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't |
| 135 |
> |
need to know the host type. |
| 136 |
> |
|
| 137 |
> |
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also |
| 138 |
> |
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will |
| 139 |
> |
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of |
| 140 |
> |
system on which you are compiling the package. |
| 141 |
> |
|
| 142 |
> |
Sharing Defaults |
| 143 |
> |
================ |
| 144 |
> |
|
| 145 |
> |
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, |
| 146 |
> |
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives |
| 147 |
> |
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'. |
| 148 |
> |
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then |
| 149 |
> |
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the |
| 150 |
> |
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script. |
| 151 |
> |
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script. |
| 152 |
> |
|
| 153 |
> |
Operation Controls |
| 154 |
> |
================== |
| 155 |
> |
|
| 156 |
> |
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it |
| 157 |
> |
operates. |
| 158 |
> |
|
| 159 |
> |
`--cache-file=FILE' |
| 160 |
> |
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of |
| 161 |
> |
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for |
| 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. |
