        How to install FreeWnn


[Basic Method of Installation]

1. expand FreeWnn tarball.

        $ gzcat FreeWnn-*.tar.gz | tar xvf -

        *1: You should use appropriate filename depending the FreeWnn version.

2. change directory to FreeWnn-*/

        $ cd FreeWnn-*

3. run configure

        $ ./configure

	*2: For configure options, see below or type `./configure --help'.

4. run make

        $ make

5. To install commands, libraries, dictionaries and so on,
   run make install as a superuser(*3).

        $ su
        # make install

	*3: Currently, install target does not work well for other user.

6. To install manuals, you should do the following as a superuser

        # make install.man

   *4: You can ommit this if you do not want manuals installed.

[Configure options]

Typing

        $ ./configure --help

will give you list of options that configure accepts.
For example, changing install directory from the default /usr/local to
/opt/freewnn, use --prefix option:

	$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/freewnn

Below are the main configure option of FreeWnn.

  enabled by default:
  --enable-libraries    compile and install FreeWnn libraries.
  --enable-server       compile and install FreeWnn servers.
  --enable-Wnn          compile and install Wnn (Japanese).
  --enable-cWnn         compile and install cWnn (Chinese).
  --enable-kWnn         compile and install kWnn (Korean).

  disabled by default:
  --enable-ipv6         enable IPv6 feature.
  --enable-unsafe-path  allow creating files in jserver_dir (*5).
  --enable-client	compile and install uum.
  --with-libwrap	use libwrap (in TCP wrapper) for jserver
			to enable connection-based access control (*6).

*5: If the option --enable-unsafe-path is enabled, the [cjkt]server
  daemons accept creation of an FreeWnn dictionary file in an arbitrary
  path, and they accept request from client of any hosts.
  This feature may be a security hole.
  Unless you used to place FreeWnn dictionary files in a path other than
  jserver_dir (lib/wnn/$LANG/dic/usr), you should not enable this feature.

*6: If you specify --enable-ipv6, libwrap need to support IPv6 also.
