Using GNU autoconfig |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

|
|
1. If you retrieved a CVS version of this package, you need the GNU |
5 |
|
|
autoconf package to generate the configure script. This is done |
6 |
|
|
by running ./.prebuild in this directory which will automatically |
7 |
|
|
run autoconf with the appropriate options. |
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
2. Run ./configure to generate config.h and the various Makefiles. |
10 |
|
|
./configure --help gives a list of possible options with slightly |
11 |
|
|
longer descriptions in README.configure |
12 |
|
|
|
13 |
|
|
Note that configure options have changed since 2.6.x series. |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that |
16 |
|
|
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure' |
17 |
|
|
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using |
18 |
|
|
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like |
19 |
|
|
this: |
20 |
|
|
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure |
21 |
|
|
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this: |
22 |
|
|
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure |
23 |
|
|
Or if you're using a non Bourne-compatible shell, you can do: |
24 |
|
|
sh -c 'CFLAGS="-O2 -g" ./configure |
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
If you are making different versions of rxvt you can configure them |
27 |
|
|
to be installed with different names using configure arguments, e.g. |
28 |
|
|
./configure --enable-languages --program-transform-name='s,rxvt,kxvt,;' |
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
3. set any other main preferences: |
31 |
|
|
Edit "src/feature.h" |
32 |
|
|
Edit "config.h" if you didn't use ./configure options |
33 |
|
|
If you're cross-compiling, edit the following in "config.h" |
34 |
|
|
NO_XLOCALE |
35 |
|
|
SIZEOF_* # sizeof some types |
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
4. Build it (repeat step 2 as desired): |
38 |
|
|
make |
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
|
|
5. build rclock (small xclock with biff & appointments) and |
41 |
|
|
optionally edit rclock/feature.h to add/remove features: |
42 |
|
|
make clock |
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
6. Install both rxvt and rclock: |
45 |
|
|
make install |
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
or install them separately |
48 |
|
|
(cd src; make install) |
49 |
|
|
(cd rclock; make install) |
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
|
|
you may also want to install doc/etc/rxvt.terminfo and |
52 |
|
|
doc/etc/rxvt.termcap |
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
|
|
7 a. If compiled with UTMP_SUPPORT, you may need to install rxvt setuid |
55 |
|
|
root or setuid/setgid to match the file permissions on /etc/utmp |
56 |
|
|
7 b. You may need to install setuid root anyway for some systems so that |
57 |
|
|
they can give you ownership of the tty devices. |
58 |
|
|
|
59 |
|
|
8. On systems which dislike doc/rxvt.1 |
60 |
|
|
(cd doc; rm rxvt.1; make rxvt.1) |
61 |
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
=================================== |
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
NB: If you were able to compile OK but running rxvt prints out |
65 |
|
|
"rxvt: could not obtain control of tty" |
66 |
|
|
running "make tests" from this directory (or from src/test) |
67 |
|
|
should give you a breakdown of the failure point which is |
68 |
|
|
useful to the developers in fixing the problem |
69 |
|
|
|
70 |
|
|
NB: SunOS (with/without gcc?) gets reported by configure as |
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
#undef STDC_HEADERS |
73 |
|
|
#define HAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H 1 |
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
but the ioctl() defines aren't protected against multiple |
76 |
|
|
inclusion, in this case by <termios.h> so use a hack in |
77 |
|
|
"feature.h" to avoid the problem. |
78 |
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
Gave up checking for `STDC_HEADERS', since they really should be |
80 |
|
|
there and I don't want to deal with the problems when they don't |
81 |
|
|
exist. |
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
SunOS users might complain to the right places and get their |
84 |
|
|
system headers fixed so that one day the rest of us won't have |
85 |
|
|
to keep compensating :( |
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
|
|
SVR4 users (that aren't using gcc) will have to add -DSVR4 to |
88 |
|
|
CPPFLAGS for configure. |
