1 Simple install procedure
2 ========================
3
4 % gzip -cd gtkyahoo-<version>.tar.gz | tar xvf - # unpack the sources
5 % cd gtkyahoo-<version> # change to the toplevel directory
6 % ./configure # run the `configure' script
7 % make # build GTKYahoo
8 [ Become root if necessary ]
9 % make install # install GTKYahoo
10 % gtkyahoo # run gtkyahoo once
11 % vi $HOME/.gtkyahoo/gtkyahoorc # update/create config file
12
13 NOTE - OpenBSD (and possibly other *BSD) users might need to use gmake
14 instead of make when compiling this software.
15
16 The Nitty-Gritty
17 ================
18
19 The 'configure' script can be given a number of options to enable
20 and disable various features. For a complete list, type:
21
22 ./configure --help
23
24 A few of the more important ones:
25
26 * --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
27 [ Defaults to /usr/local ]
28
29 Options can be given to the compiler and linker by setting
30 environment variables before running configure. A few of the more
31 important ones:
32
33 CC : The C compiler to use
34 CPPFLAGS : Flags for the C preprocesser such as -I and -D
35 CFLAGS : C compiler flags
36
37 The most important use of this is to set the
38 optimization/debugging flags. For instance, to compile with no
39 debugging information at all, run configure as:
40
41 CFLAGS=-O2 ./configure # Bourne compatible shells (sh/bash/zsh)
42
43 or,
44
45 setenv CFLAGS -O2 ; ./configure # csh and variants
46
47
48 Installation directories
49 ========================
50
51 The location of the installed files is determined by the --prefix
52 and --exec-prefix options given to configure. There are also more
53 detailed flags to control individual directories. However, the
54 use of these flags is not tested.
55
56
57 BSD build instructions
58 ======================
59
60 BSD users might need to use gmake instead of make when compiling this
61 software.
62
63
64 Debian build instructions
65 =========================
66
67 Requires fakeroot and debhelper packages installed.
68
69 % fakeroot
70 % debian/rules binary
71
72 This will create a gtkyahoo-<version>.deb file in the higher
73 directory, not <version> stands for the version number.
74
75 [become root]
76 % dpkg -i gtkyahoo-<version>.deb
