- Installation instructions for dls/describe.
-
- 1. Make sure you have DBM or NDBM-compatible library routines. If
- you haven't, I recommend Ozan Yigit's SDBM, available at various
- Anonymous FTP sites, including admin.viccol.edu.au.
-
- 2. Make sure you have directory reading routines (opendir(3),
- readdir(3), etc.). If you haven't got any, try getting the
- non-commercial version by Doug Gwyn, also available at various
- Anonymous FTP sites.
-
- 3. Read config.h and modify if necessary.
-
- 4. Read Makefile and modify if necessary.
-
- 5. Make.
-
- 6. Install binaries and man pages where you want them (you should
- have modified Makefile appropriately).
-
- 7. For your anonymous ftp area, install a copy of dl in
- ~ftp/bin/ls. You should provide some information on dl in a
- prominent README file or at login time for anonymous FTP users.
- You may also want/need to change the way dl responds to various
- options in order to get it to work better with your version of
- ftpd (check that the MGET command works, in particular). Others
- have been known to do this, and I haven't come up with a
- definitive set of answers to this and other related problems yet.
-
- 8. Start describing files.
