- This is how to compile and install Jade on a Unix system,
-
- 1. Unpack the tar file into the directory which you want to compile Jade in,
- this can be anywhere. You *don't* have to unpack it into the directory
- which you want to install it in anymore.
-
- 2. Set up the configuration files. Look at the file `src/configs/config.h.std'
- if this seems okay for your system execute the command `./Configure std'
- this creates a symbolic link `src/config.h' to the `config.h.std' config
- file.
-
- If the `std' config is no good for you, edit the changes you need into
- `src/configs/config.h.local'. Then execute the shell command
- `./Configure local'.
-
- If you're using Linux, just use the command `./Configure -a' (the `-a'
- option says to use the output from `uname -s' as the config file suffix)
-
- 3. Compile the editor by executing the command `make'. This creates the
- Makefile in the src directory and compiles jade.
-
- Some make variables you may want to override are:
-
- CFLAGS -- compiler options
- LDFLAGS -- linker options
- CPP -- cpp program, it gets given two arguments, the
- source and destination files, by default this
- has the value "/lib/cpp"
- prefix -- directory tree to install jade in, default is
- "/usr/local", another choice could be "/usr".
- exec_prefix -- directory tree to install system-dependant files
- under, by default this is $(prefix)
- infodir -- directory to install jade's Info documentation in,
- default is $(prefix)/info (i.e. "/usr/local/info")
- bindir -- directory to install jade's binary in, by default
- this is $(exec_prefix)/bin (i.e. "/usr/local/bin")
- jadedir -- jade's library directory, by default this is,
- $(prefix)/lib/jade/VERSION (i.e.
- "/usr/local/lib/jade/3.X")
-
- 4. Install it's files into their proper locations by executing the command
- `make install', if you specified non-standard values for any of the
- variables listed above, you should specify the same values when installing.
-
- Note that all directories which files are installed in are automatically
- created.
