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. |
