- This is the README file for console-tools version 0.2.3.
-
- You may find more information at:
-
- http://www.multimania.com/ydirson/en/lct/
-
-
- This package contains utilities compatible with kernel version 1.1.54
- and later. consolechars(1) requires 1.1.92 or later.
-
- You will find the data files (keymaps, fonts, and unicode tables),
- which used to be part of this package, in the console-data package.
-
-
- To compile, you just need the standard make+gcc+libc suite. To format
- the docs, you'll need sgmltools (formerly linuxdoc-sgml).
-
- It is mainly tested for libc 6.1 (aka glibc 2.1), so there may be
- minor problems with libc5, or even libc 6.0.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: if you still use libc5, you'll need a recent version.
- 5.4.33 and above seem to work fine, whereas 5.3.12 is know to have a
- bug that causes problems to console-tools.
-
-
- To install this package:
-
- 1) unpack it somewhere
-
- 2) invoke "./configure --help" to look at configuration parameters
-
- 2) invoke "./configure" with any chosen options
-
- 3) "make" and "make install". This copies by default the utilities to
- /usr/bin, man pages to /usr/man/man? and data files to the subdirectories
- keytables, consolefonts, consoletrans and videomodes of /usr/share/.
-
-
- Then have a look at the `lct' document, available in the source
- distribution as doc/lct.txt.
-
-
- Report problems with this package to: Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>.
