UNIX installation specific functions. Please read this file.
0. Building and installing JED requires that you also have the S-Lang library
to link to (cc *.c -lslang). Build it first. It should be in ../slang.
1. Pick some place for JED.
JED is distributed in a TREE structure:
JED_ROOT/
JED_ROOT/src
JED_ROOT/info
JED_ROOT/doc
JED_ROOT/lib
JED_ROOT/bin
Here JED_ROOT can be anything (e.g., /usr/local/jed). It must be specified
in the makefile. It is important that the subdirectories under JED_ROOT
remain intact. An environment variable called `JED_ROOT' can also be
created to over ride the value compiled with the executable.
For simplicity, suppose that after you have unpacked the jed distribution,
from the directory:
/usr/users/myname/src
to create:
/usr/users/myname/src/jedxx-y
Let's say that you want JED_ROOT to be /usr/local/jed. Then, AFTER you
have successfully installed jed, you can simply do:
mv /usr/users/myname/src/jedxx-y /usr/local/jed
Better yet, simply make /usr/local/jed to be a link:
ln -s /usr/users/myname/src/jedxx-y /usr/local/jed
!! Please note that if you have an old version of JED installed, remove
any environment variable called JED_LIBRARY. It is obsolete.
3. Build JED.
To actually build JED, move to the src directory in the JED distribution
and copy makefile.unx to makefile:
cp makefile.unx makefile
Edit the makefile to reflect your system. Instructions are in it. This
is also the step where you must specifiy the value of JED_ROOT as
described above.
* note: JED assumes that the system supplied memcmp routine performs
an unsigned comparision. This is NOT the case for SunOS.
If your system uses a signed comparison for memcmp, do not
use the -DHAS_MEMCMP option. If you do not know, do not
use it either.
Then type `make' at the prompt.
3.1
If you want to build the XWindows version of JED, type:
make xjed
at the prompt (assuming you have correctly edited the makefile).
3.2
If you would like to use JED's rmail mode, first read doc/rmail.txt.
Then type:
make getmail
3.3
JED comes with a highlighting recursive grep program called rgrep. Type:
make rgrep
Then entering:
./rgrep
will dump out a usage. Do with it what you want. It is useful and IMHO
is better than grep.
4. Copy the new executable to somewhere on your path, e.g.,
cp ./jed /usr/local/bin
rehash
5. Now move the distribution to the location of JED_ROOT as specified
in the first step.
6. By default, when JED starts up, it will load some files out of
JED_ROOT/lib then it will look for the file .jedrc in your home directory.
If it does not find it, it will load the default file from JED_ROOT/lib.
This will give you both emacs and edt emulation. If you do not want
that, you will need to copy JED_ROOT/lib/jed.rc to $HOME/.jedrc and edit it.
In fact, you are encouraged to copy jed.rc to $HOME/.jedrc and make your
own personal changes there. The jed.rc file should be regarded as a
template for .jedrc and should not be changed. Many Unix users do not
want EDT editor bindings. However, JED is shipped with the EDT bindings
enabled. If you do not want the EDT bindings, disable them in your .jedrc
file.
In particular, read site.sl which is the first file loaded when JED
starts. Site specific customization should be placed in defaults.sl. For
example, my defaults.sl on my linux system simply loads linux.sl. (See
linux.sl) This sets keybindings for the appropriate for console and sets
the color to white on blue.
See site.sl for details.
8. Optional but highly recommended. Preparse the S-Lang files. This
is done by running JED as:
% jed -batch -n -l preparse.sl
This creates pre-parsed *.slc files that load quicker than *.sl files.
If this step fails to work for some reason, JED is probably not properly
installed.
9. Again optional: There is a JED announcement list. If you want to be
notified of upcoming JED releases, send email to me :
davis@amy.tch.harvard.edu
10. That's it. Enjoy.
