Restoring our own custom INSTALL file
While automake *can* generate a generic version of this file for us, we don't want it!

-- INSTALL for Fluxbox
|
||||
|
||||
Compilation and Installation:
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
||||
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
||||
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory in the
|
||||
Fluxbox source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that you can run
|
||||
in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
|
||||
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
|
||||
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
|
||||
(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to do unusual things to compile Fluxbox, please try
|
||||
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
||||
diffs or instructions to fluxbox-developers list (see www.fluxbox.org)
|
||||
so they can be considered for the next release. If at some point
|
||||
`config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove
|
||||
or edit it.
|
||||
|
||||
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
||||
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
|
||||
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
||||
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
||||
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
||||
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
|
||||
`configure' itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
|
||||
messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
||||
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
||||
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
||||
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Compilers and Options:
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
||||
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
|
||||
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
|
||||
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
|
||||
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Optional Features:
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
Fluxbox supports the XShape extension of X11R6. This support is enabled by
|
||||
default, but may be overridden by specifying `--disable-shape' on the configure
|
||||
script's command line.
|
||||
|
||||
Fluxbox supports Window Maker dockapps (warning: restarts from wmaker to
|
||||
fluxbox don't always handle dockapps correctly) with a gadget called the Slit.
|
||||
The Slit is compiled into Fluxbox by default, but may be overridden by
|
||||
specifying `--disable-slit' on the configure script's command line.
|
||||
|
||||
Fluxbox supports a rendering effect called "faked interlacing" which darkens
|
||||
every other line in rendered images. This support works only for gradient
|
||||
images. It is compiled in by default, but may be overridden by specifying
|
||||
`--disable-interlace' on the configure script's command line.
|
||||
|
||||
Fluxbox uses a timer which allows it to periodically flush its pixmap
|
||||
cache. It is enabled by default, but may be overridden by specifying
|
||||
'--disable-timed-cache' on the configure script's command line.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, `configure' can usually find the X include and library files
|
||||
automatically, but if it doesn't, you can use the `configure'
|
||||
options `--x-includes=DIR' and `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify
|
||||
their locations.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
