2.1 Install

Get the sources:

$ git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/mediatex.git

Software requirements.

• Compilation: acl automake autopoint bison flex gettext help2man libacl1-dev libavl-dev libtool libssl-dev make texinfo transfig
• Documentation in others format than texinfo and man (optional): imagemagick texlive
• Installation: apache2 acl bc bsd-mailx bzip2 cgit cpio findutils git gzip libavl1 libacl1 logrotate rsyslog ssh tar unzip
• Debian package generation: libfile-fcntllock-perl

Here are the steps used to build the project from scratch:

$ autoscan
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure
$ make V=0
$ make check V=0
$ make distcheck V=0

However this have to be adapt to be really functional for installation or to enable debuging:
(see /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/autoconf.pm from debhelper)

$ ./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --includedir=/usr/include \
  --mandir=/usr/share/man \
  --infodir=/usr/share/info \
  --sysconfdir=/etc \
  --localstatedir=/var \
  --libexecdir=/usr/lib/mediatex
$ make CFLAGS="-Wall -g -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" V=0
# make install
# mediatex adm init

Other formats than GNU INFO of this documentation are also available from the sources (optional):

$ cd doc
$ make html pdf
# make install-html install-pdf

Someone may also prefers to build and install a DEBIAN package:

$ make dist
$ tar -zxf mediatex-0.8.tar.gz
$ mv mediatex-0.8.tar.gz mediatex_0.8.orig.tar.gz
$ cd mediatex-0.8
$ cp -fr ../debian .
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
$ ls ..

The fully DEBIAN build process should finish using pbuilder:

$ cd mediatex-0.8
$ cp -fr ../debian .
# pbuilder create --distribution stretch \
  --basetgz ../stretch.tgz \
  --mirror http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian
# pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal \
  --debbuildopts -sa -- \
  --basetgz ../stretch.tgz

Next, a test script automate the 6 following scenarios:

# /usr/share/mediatex/examples/tests.sh
