Unpack the archive if you have not done so already: + + tar -xf xlunzip[version].tar.lz +or + lzip -cd xlunzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf - + +This creates the directory ./xlunzip[version] containing the source from +the main archive. + +2. Change to xlunzip directory and run configure. + (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions). + + cd xlunzip[version] + ./configure + +3. Run make. + + make + +4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with xlunzip. + +5. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and + documentation. + + 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 xlunzip into a separate directory. +To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the 'VPATH' +variable, 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 sources. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory +automatically. + +After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as +explained above. + + +Copyright (C) 2016-2018 Antonio Diaz Diaz. + +This file is free documentation: you have unlimited permission to copy, +distribute and modify it. |
