"SfR Fresh" - the SfR Freeware/Shareware Archive

Member "scribus-1.3.3.12/INSTALL" of archive scribus-1.3.3.12.tar.gz:


As a special service "SfR Fresh" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using source code syntax highlighting with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field.
    1 Basic Installation
    2 ==================
    3 
    4    These are generic installation instructions. Scribus-specific
    5 notes including library requirements and special build instructions
    6 can be found in the BUILDING file.
    7 
    8    The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
    9 various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
   10 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
   11 It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
   12 definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
   13 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
   14 `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
   15 reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
   16 (useful mainly for debugging `configure').
   17 
   18    If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
   19 to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
   20 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
   21 be considered for the next release.  If at some point `config.cache'
   22 contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
   23 
   24    The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
   25 called `autoconf'.  You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
   26 it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
   27 
   28 The simplest way to compile this package is:
   29 
   30   1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
   31      `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
   32      using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
   33      `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
   34      `configure' itself.
   35 
   36      Running `configure' takes a while.  While running, it prints some
   37      messages telling which features it is checking for.
   38 
   39   2. Type `make' to compile the package.
   40 
   41   3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
   42      documentation. If you prefer to strip the binaries, which makes them
   43      slightly smaller, run `make install-strip' instead.
   44 
   45   4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
   46      source code directory by typing `make clean'.  
   47 
   48 Compilers and Options
   49 =====================
   50 
   51    Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
   52 the `configure' script does not know about.  You can give `configure'
   53 initial values for variables by setting them in the environment.  Using
   54 a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
   55 this:
   56      CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
   57 
   58 Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
   59      env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
   60 
   61 Compiling For Multiple Architectures
   62 ====================================
   63 
   64    You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
   65 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
   66 own directory.  To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
   67 supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'.  `cd' to the
   68 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
   69 the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the
   70 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
   71 
   72    If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
   73 variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
   74 in the source code directory.  After you have installed the package for
   75 one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
   76 architecture.
   77 
   78 Installation Names
   79 ==================
   80 
   81    By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
   82 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an
   83 installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
   84 option `--prefix=PATH'.
   85 
   86    You can specify separate installation prefixes for
   87 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
   88 give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
   89 PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
   90 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
   91 
   92    If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
   93 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
   94 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
   95 
   96 Optional Features
   97 =================
   98 
   99    Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
  100 `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
  101 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
  102 is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The
  103 `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
  104 package recognizes.
  105 
  106    For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
  107 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
  108 you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
  109 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
  110 
  111 Specifying the System Type
  112 ==========================
  113 
  114    There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
  115 automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
  116 will run on.  Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
  117 a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
  118 `--host=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
  119 type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
  120      CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
  121 
  122 See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
  123 `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
  124 need to know the host type.
  125 
  126    If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
  127 use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
  128 produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
  129 system on which you are compiling the package.
  130 
  131 Sharing Defaults
  132 ================
  133 
  134    If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
  135 you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
  136 default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
  137 `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
  138 `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
  139 `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
  140 A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
  141 
  142 Operation Controls
  143 ==================
  144 
  145    `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
  146 operates.
  147 
  148 `--cache-file=FILE'
  149      Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
  150      `./config.cache'.  Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
  151      debugging `configure'.
  152 
  153 `--help'
  154      Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
  155 
  156 `--quiet'
  157 `--silent'
  158 `-q'
  159      Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
  160 
  161 `--srcdir=DIR'
  162      Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
  163      `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
  164 
  165 `--version'
  166      Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
  167      script, and exit.
  168 
  169 `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
