NOTE: By default everything will be installed with the prefix /usr/local . If you want to build against these libraries you will need to add "/usr/local/lib" to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. Otherwise, run configure with --prefix=/usr and the libraries will be installed to /usr/lib Contents ======== A. Basic Installation B. For Developers C. Installation Paths A. Basic Installation ================== 1. Extract the archive tar -zxf artnet-0.x.y.tar.gz 2. Enter the directory cd artnet-0.x.y.tar.gz 3. Run the configure script. 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. ./configure 4. Build the source files. make 5. Become root su (enter root password) 6. Install the libraries make install 7. See the instructions at the top of this file. B. For Developers ================= libartnet uses pkgconfig. libartnet.pc is installed in /usr/lib/pkgconfig This is only important if you intend on writing applications that use libartnet. libartnet is documented using doxygen. Run doxygen from the extracted directory to generate the latex and html documentation in the doc subdirectory C. Installation Paths ===================== By default, `make install' will install the package's files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the option `--prefix=PATH'. You can specify separate installation prefixes for architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries. Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix. In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories you can set and what kinds of files go in them. If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
