HowTo Build Minix Editline
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Minix editline use the GNU configure tools, which includes autoconf,
|
|
automake and libtool. This enables high levels of portability and ease
|
|
of use. In most cases all you need to do is unpack the tarball, enter
|
|
the directory and type:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
There are are, however, more options available. For instance, sometimes
|
|
it is useful to build editline as a static library, type:
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-shared
|
|
|
|
By default editline employs a default handler for the TAB key, pressing
|
|
it once completes to the nearest matching filename in the current
|
|
working directory, or it can display a listing of possible completions.
|
|
For some uses this default is not desirable at all, type:
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-default-complete
|
|
|
|
An even more common desire is to change the default install location.
|
|
By default all configure scripts setup /usr/local as the install
|
|
"prefix", to change this type:
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/home/troglobit/tmp
|
|
|
|
Advanced users are encouraged to read up on --libdir, --mandir, etc. in
|
|
the GNU Configure and Build System.
|
|
|
|
For more available options, type:
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
To build and install, simply type:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
followed by
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Good Luck!
