(gcc 3.3.6 or newer is recommended). +I use gcc 6.1.0 and 3.3.6, but the code should compile with any standards +compliant compiler. +Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org. + +The operating system must allow signal handlers read access to objects with +static storage duration so that the cleanup handler for Control-C can delete +the partial output file. + + +Procedure +--------- +1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already: + + tar -xf lunzip[version].tar.lz +or + lzip -cd lunzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf - + +This creates the directory ./lunzip[version] containing the source code +extracted from the archive. + +2. Change to lunzip directory and run configure. + (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions). + + cd lunzip[version] + ./configure + + If you choose a C standard, enable the POSIX features explicitly: + + ./configure CFLAGS+='--std=c99 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500' + + If you are compiling on MinGW, use: + + ./configure CFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO' + +3. Run make. + + make + +4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with lunzip. + +5. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and + documentation. You need root privileges to install into a prefix owned + by root. + + Or type 'make install-compress', which additionally compresses the + man page after installation. + (Installing compressed docs may become the default in the future). + + You can install only the program or the man page by typing + 'make install-bin' or 'make install-man' respectively. + + Instead of 'make install', you can type 'make install-as-lzip' to + install the program and any data files and documentation, and link + the program to the name 'lzip'. + + +Another way +----------- +You can also compile lunzip into a separate directory. +To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the variable +'VPATH', such as GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the directory where you want the +object files and executables to go and run the 'configure' script. +'configure' automatically checks for the source code in '.', in '..', and +in the directory that 'configure' is in. + +'configure' recognizes the option '--srcdir=DIR' to control where to look +for the source code. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory +automatically. + +After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as +explained above. + + +Copyright (C) 2010-2024 Antonio Diaz Diaz. + +This file is free documentation: you have unlimited permission to copy, +distribute, and modify it. |
