------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: Generic installation instructions for ADE-based software Version: $HeadURL$ $LastChangedRevision$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prerequisite software --------------------- You must have the following software installed and accessible to the user who will compile and to the user who will install this package: GNU make Perl version 5 or greater Korn shell or Bash ADE (probably available at the same place you found this) Compilation ----------- This software uses a mechanism similar, but not identical, to GNU configure. As non-root run the command: make configure This will use adeconf (you did install ADE, right?) to generate files ./bldcfg/paths.*. Review the contents of one of these files (the other present the same information in alternative formats). If you do not understand the contents of the file then see the adeconf(1) man page. If you need to provide some non-default options to adeconf, then provide them as in this example: make configure ADECONF_FLAGS="--prefix=/some/path/or/other ..." Then run: make Installation ------------ As a user with suitable privileges (depending where you are trying to install into this may be you or it may be root), from the same directory run the command: make install If you're feeling nervous then first run: make -n install Configuration and execution --------------------------- See the man pages.
