INSTALLATION

Prerequisites

In order to install the package into your system you will need:

• A relatively recent GNU toolchain

Installation

The following notes do not override your system's package management software, please follow your system's guidelines to install the software.

The package uses the autotools facilities, the simplest way to install the package in your system is:

• cd to the directory containing the package's source code and type ./configure to configure the package for your system.Running configure might take a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for
• Type make to compile the package
• Optionally, type make check to run all self-tests that come with the package
• Type make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation

Use ./configure --help to get a brief help of all configuration tweaks available.

You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing make clean. To also remove the files that configure created (so you can compile the package for a different architecture), type make distclean.

You can also type make uninstall to remove the installed files.

Note that the --prefix option allows installation using different paths than the default ones, this option enables sandbox installations.
