|
|
|
If building from git sources, run "autoreconf -vis .". When autoreconf has
|
|
|
|
|
finished, you can follow the following instructions for building a dist
|
|
|
|
|
tarball.

|
|
|
|
2008-01-04 20:49:49 +01:00
|
|
|
After extracting the dist tarball, run "./configure --help" and figure out
|
|
|
|
|
what you might want to adapt for your system. Then run ./configure with the
|
|
|
|
|
proper parameters, and build and install:
