Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
You will need a C++ compiler.
|
|
I use gcc 4.8.1 and 3.3.6, but the code should compile with any
|
|
standards compliant compiler.
|
|
Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
If you are installing zutils along with GNU gzip and want to keep the
|
|
gzip scripts, the recommended method is to configure gzip as follows:
|
|
|
|
./configure --program-transform-name='s/^z/gz/'
|
|
|
|
This renames, at installation time, the gzip scripts and man pages to
|
|
'gzcat', 'gzcat.1', etc, avoiding the name clashing with the programs
|
|
and man pages from zutils.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Procedure
|
|
---------
|
|
1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
|
|
|
|
lzip -cd zutils[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -
|
|
or
|
|
gzip -cd zutils[version].tar.gz | tar -xf -
|
|
|
|
This creates the directory ./zutils[version] containing the source from
|
|
the main archive.
|
|
|
|
2. Change to zutils directory and run configure.
|
|
(Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).
|
|
|
|
cd zutils[version]
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
3. Run make.
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with zutils.
|
|
|
|
5. Type 'make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
You can install only the programs, the info manual or the man pages
|
|
typing 'make install-bin', 'make install-info' or 'make install-man'
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another way
|
|
-----------
|
|
You can also compile zutils into a separate directory. To do this, 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 the 'configure' script. 'configure'
|
|
automatically checks for the source code in '.', in '..' and in the
|
|
directory that 'configure' is in.
|
|
|
|
'configure' recognizes the option '--srcdir=DIR' to control where to
|
|
look for the sources. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as
|
|
explained above.
