If you are simply +upgrading an old version of man-db and know that all of the defaults +are correct (your config file will NOT be overwritten), you may follow +the Quick install below. + +man-db requires several external packages: + + * libpipeline >= 1.5.0 (https://libpipeline.gitlab.io/libpipeline/) + * flex >= 2.5.30 (https://github.com/westes/flex) + * a database library, one of: + GDBM (https://www.gnu.org.ua/software/gdbm/) + Berkeley DB < 6 + NDBM + +and on systems without GNU libc: + + * libiconv >= 1.8 (https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/) + +Some other packages are recommended and used if available: + + * zlib (https://zlib.net/) + * libseccomp (https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp) + +Quick INSTALL +============= + + * RUN `./configure <appropriate flags>' + * EDIT configuration files/headers if necessary + * RUN `make <appropriate variable definitions>' + * RUN `make install <appropriate variable definitions>' + +Note (1): If you don't know what <appropriate flags> or <appropriate +variable definitions> mean, you should be reading/following the install +procedure in ../README.md instead. + +Note (2): You must not replace the `make install' step by copying the +binaries to wherever you may want them. Various paths are hard coded +into the binaries during `make' and unless you know exactly what you +are doing, it is likely that run time errors will occur. + +Note (3): If you run make with path/prefix/name_transformation variable +definitions such as `make prefix=/tmp zsoelim=soelim', you must supply +the same variable definitions to `make install'. In general it is +better to run `./configure' with the appropriate options rather than +waiting until the make stage of the build. |
