Linux, for example. +- Compiler: Recent(ish) gcc or clang (others may work: tcc seems to, + pcc seems not to). +- X11 and Xpm libraries and headers. +- GNU Make, any recent version. Probably even ancient versions. +- A Bourne-like shell (for make to use). +- gzip, install, mkdir commands. + +Only needed if you're going to rebuild the man page (after +modifying the RST): + +- rst2man, possibly in your 'python-docutils' distro package. + +A full install of Slackware should have all you need. On Debian +or Ubuntu, try "apt-get install build-essentials". + +To build, just run "make", optionally followed by "make install". + +Packagers: the Makefile supports the full panoply of tweakable +parameters, such as CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, DESTDIR, PREFIX, etc. Have +a look at the top of the Makefile for the full list. The defaults +should be reasonable, except you probably want some optimization +in CFLAGS. If you package this for your distro, send me an email +(urchlay@slackware.uk), let me know if you ran into any problems. A +hint: don't bother to include this INSTALL file in your binary package +(users won't find it useful). |
