[gaim-migrate @ 16957] -Updated the win32dep debug function to correctly match the core function (the core was apparently changed a while ago and this was never updated). -Updated wgaim_read_reg_string() to deal with non-ascii strings correctly, created corresponding wgaim_write_reg_string(). Use these in various places. -Update some win32dep arguments and return values to be correctly marked as having constant values. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

6 The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
7 various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
8 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

9 It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:

10 definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:

11 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:

12 `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

diff changeset
13 reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

26 The simplest way to compile this package is:
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
27
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
28 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
29 `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
30 using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
31 `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
32 `configure' itself.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
33
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
34 Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
35 messages telling which features it is checking for.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

parents:
diff changeset
36
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
37 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
38
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
39 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
40 the package.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

41
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
42 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>

45 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
46 source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
47 files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
48 a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
49 also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
50 for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
51 all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

parents:
diff changeset
56
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
57 Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
58 the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
59 initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
60 a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
61 this:
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
62 CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

parents:
diff changeset
63
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
64 Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
65 env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure

Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
68 ====================================
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
69
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
70 You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
71 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
72 own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
73 supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
74 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
75 the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
76 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
77
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
78 If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
79 variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
80 in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
81 one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

87 By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
88 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
89 installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
90 option `--prefix=PATH'.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization

parents:
diff changeset
91
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
92 You can specify separate installation prefixes for
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
93 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
94 give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
95 PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
96 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.

97
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
98 In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
99 options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
100 kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:

a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
diff changeset
104 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
a5ace2e037bc Tailorization
Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
parents:
