These are used only when compiling the application from the +source code package. If you want to install ATF from a binary package, you +do not need to read this document. + +For the impatient: + + $ ./configure + $ make + Gain root privileges + # make install + Drop root privileges + $ make installcheck + +Or alternatively, install as a regular user into your home directory: + + $ ./configure --prefix ~/local + $ make + $ make install + $ make installcheck + + +Dependencies +************ + +To build and use ATF successfully you need: + +* A standards-compliant C/C++ complier. For example, GNU GCC 2.95 will not + work. + +* A POSIX shell interpreter. + +* A make(1) utility. + +If you are building ATF from the code on the repository, you will also need +to have GNU autoconf, automake and libtool installed. + + +Regenerating the build system +***************************** + +If you are building ATF from code extracted from the repository, you must +first regenerate the files used by the build system. You will also need to +do this if you modify configure.ac, Makefile.am or any of the other build +system files. To do this, simply run: + + $ autoreconf -i -s + +For formal releases, no extra steps are needed. + + +General build procedure +*********************** + +To build and install the source package, you must follow these steps: + +1. Configure the sources to adapt to your operating system. This is done + using the 'configure' script located on the sources' top directory, + and it is usually invoked without arguments unless you want to change + the installation prefix. More details on this procedure are given on a + later section. + +2. Build the sources to generate the binaries and scripts. Simply run + 'make' on the sources' top directory after configuring them. No + problems should arise. + +3. Install the program by running 'make install'. You may need to become + root to issue this step. + +4. Issue any manual installation steps that may be required. These are + described later in their own section. + +5. Check that the installed programs work by running 'make installcheck'. + You do not need to be root to do this, even though some checks will not + be run otherwise. + + +Configuration flags +******************* + +The most common, standard flags given to 'configure' are: + +* --prefix=directory + Possible values: Any path + Default: /usr/local + + Specifies where the program (binaries and all associated files) will + be installed. + +* --sysconfdir=directory + Possible values: Any path + Default: /usr/local/etc + + Specifies where the installed programs will look for configuration files. + '/atf' will be appended to the given path unless ATF_CONFSUBDIR is + redefined as explained later on. + +* --help + Shows information about all available flags and exits immediately, + without running any configuration tasks. + +The following environment variables are specific to ATF's 'configure' +script: + +* ATF_BUILD_CC + Possible values: empty, a absolute or relative path to a C compiler. + Default: the value of CC as detected by the configure script. + + Specifies the C compiler that ATF will use at run time whenever the + build-time-specific checks are used. + +* ATF_BUILD_CFLAGS + Possible values: empty, a list of valid C compiler flags. + Default: the value of CFLAGS as detected by the configure script. + + Specifies the C compiler flags that ATF will use at run time whenever the + build-time-specific checks are used. + +* ATF_BUILD_CPP + Possible values: empty, a absolute or relative path to a C/C++ + preprocessor. + Default: the value of CPP as detected by the configure script. + + Specifies the C/C++ preprocessor that ATF will use at run time whenever + the build-time-specific checks are used. + +* ATF_BUILD_CPPFLAGS + Possible values: empty, a list of valid C/C++ preprocessor flags. + Default: the value of CPPFLAGS as detected by the configure script. + + Specifies the C/C++ preprocessor flags that ATF will use at run time + whenever the build-time-specific checks are used. + +* ATF_BUILD_CXX + Possible values: empty, a absolute or relative path to a C++ compiler. + Default: the value of CXX as detected by the configure script. + + Specifies the C++ compiler that ATF will use at run time whenever the + build-time-specific checks are used. + +* ATF_BUILD_CXXFLAGS + Possible values: empty, a list of valid C++ compiler flags. + Default: the value of CXXFLAGS as detected by the configure script. + + Specifies the C++ compiler flags that ATF will use at run time whenever + the build-time-specific checks are used. + +* ATF_CONFSUBDIR + Possible values: empty, a relative path. + Default: atf. + + Specifies the subdirectory of the configuration directory (given by the + --sysconfdir argument) under which ATF will search for its configuration + files. + +* ATF_SHELL + Possible values: empty, absolute path to a POSIX shell interpreter. + Default: empty. + + Specifies the POSIX shell interpreter that ATF will use at run time to + execute its scripts and the test programs written using the atf-sh + library. If empty, the configure script will try to find a suitable + interpreter for you. + +* ATF_WORKDIR + Possible values: empty, an absolute path. + Default: /tmp or /var/tmp, depending on availability. + + Specifies the directory that ATF will use to place its temporary files + and work directories for test cases. This is just a default and can be + overriden at run time. + +* GDB + Possible values: empty, absolute path to GNU GDB. + Default: empty. + + Specifies the path to the GNU GDB binary that atf-run will use to gather + a stack trace of a crashing test program. If empty, the configure script + will try to find a suitable binary for you. + +The following flags are specific to ATF's 'configure' script: + +* --enable-developer + Possible values: yes, no + Default: 'yes' in Git HEAD builds; 'no' in formal releases. + + Enables several features useful for development, such as the inclusion + of debugging symbols in all objects or the enforcement of compilation + warnings. + + The compiler will be executed with an exhaustive collection of warning + detection features regardless of the value of this flag. However, such + warnings are only fatal when --enable-developer is 'yes'. + +* --enable-tools + Possible values: yes, no + Default: no. + + Enables the build of the deprecated atf-config, atf-report, atf-run + and atf-version tools. atf-report and atf-run have been superseded by + Kyua, and atf-config and atf-version are unnecessary. + + +Post-installation steps +*********************** + +After installing ATF, you have to register the DTDs it provides into the +system-wide XML catalog. See the comments at the top of the files in +${datadir}/share/xml/atf to see the correct public identifiers. This +directory will typically be /usr/local/share/xml/atf or /usr/share/xml/atf. +Failure to do so will lead to further errors when processing the XML files +generated by atf-report. + + +=========================================================================== +vim: filetype=text:textwidth=75:expandtab:shiftwidth=2:softtabstop=2 |
