Installation Instructions
|
||||
*************************
|
||||
|
||||
This file contains some useful details on the installation from source code
|
||||
for GRAMPS. It does not cover installation of a pre-built binary package.
|
||||
For that use your package manager, the rest is already done by the packager.

configure vs autogen scripts
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
If you are building from released tarball, you should be able to just
|
||||
run "./configure && make". However, if you're building from the SVN,
|
||||
the configure is not present. You should auto-generate it by
|
||||
running ./autogen.sh and then "make" and, finally, "make install".
|
||||
Basic Installation
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Running ./autogen.sh on this branch of gramps requires the following
|
||||
packages to be installed:
|
||||
* automake-1.9
|
||||
* gnome-common
|
||||
* intltool
|
||||
* libglib2.0-dev (may be called differently on other distros) and
|
||||
maybe something else. If autogen.sh fails, it should inform you what's
|
||||
missing.
|
||||
These are generic installation instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
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 of the package.
|
||||
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
||||
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
||||
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
|
||||
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
|
||||
debugging `configure').
|
||||
|
||||
Regular vs local installation
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
This version of gramps requires, among others, the following to be done:
|
||||
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
|
||||
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
|
||||
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
|
||||
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
|
||||
cache files.)
|
||||
|
||||
mime types for gramps MUST be properly installed.
|
||||
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
|
||||
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
||||
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
|
||||
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
|
||||
some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
|
||||
may remove or edit it.
|
||||
|
||||
The usual ./configure, make, and make install as a root should do the trick.
|
||||
The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
|
||||
`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
|
||||
`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
|
||||
a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
||||
|
||||
But be careful if you're using the non-default options or would like
|
||||
to install without being root.
|
||||
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
||||
|
||||
The latter is possible, but you should supply additional arguments to
|
||||
autogen or configure:
|
||||
--with-mime-dir=$HOME/.local/share/mime
|
||||
--disable-scrollkeeper
|
||||
Most likely, such local install will also need some prefix with write
|
||||
permissions for you:
|
||||
--prefix=$HOME/my_gramps_path
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Whether you're doing local install or regular install,
|
||||
YOU MUST INSTALL MIME TYPES.
|
||||
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
|
||||
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
|
||||
messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing under non-default prefix
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
As hinted above, mime types for gramps MUST be properly installed.
|
||||
The "proper install" means installing
|
||||
them where the shared mime system will find them.
|
||||
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
|
||||
the package.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the shared mime systems will look in these places:
|
||||
1. /usr/share/mime
|
||||
2. /usr/local/share/mime : this may be broken on some systems
|
||||
3. $HOME/.local/share/mime : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
|
||||
There's a number of ways to instruct the shared mime system
|
||||
to look in other places, but this is the whole other story.
|
||||
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
So if you install some place other than /usr/share, you will most
|
||||
likely need to add this option to autogen.sh/configure scripts:
|
||||
--with-mime-dir=/usr/share/mime
|
||||
5. 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'. There is
|
||||
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
|
||||
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
|
||||
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
|
||||
with the distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the --prefix=/usr/share and installing as a root will most
|
||||
likely do everything correctly, so no extra care needs to be
|
||||
taken. You should take extra care only if you are installing under
|
||||
something like --prefix=/usr/local/my_gramps, /var/gramps123/blah, etc.
|
||||
Compilers and Options
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
|
||||
`configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for
|
||||
details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
Packager's issues
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
The above mime types must be installed.
|
||||
However, the update-mime-database to process the newly installed types and schemas must be done in POST-INSTALLATION.
|
||||
In packager's world, the install happens on packager's machine
|
||||
into something like /tmp/gramps-tmp. However, the postinstall
|
||||
should happen on the user's machine.
|
||||
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
|
||||
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
|
||||
is an example:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
|
||||
|
||||
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
|
||||
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
|
||||
own 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 the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
|
||||
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
|
||||
time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
|
||||
package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
|
||||
for another architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation Names
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
|
||||
`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You
|
||||
can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
|
||||
`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
|
||||
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
|
||||
pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses
|
||||
PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
|
||||
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
|
||||
options like `--bindir=DIR' 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'.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional Features
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
|
||||
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
|
||||
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
|
||||
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
|
||||
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
|
||||
package recognizes.
|
||||
|
||||
For packages that use the X Window System, `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.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifying the System Type
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
|
||||
but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
|
||||
Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
|
||||
architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
|
||||
message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
|
||||
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
||||
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
|
||||
|
||||
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
||||
|
||||
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
|
||||
|
||||
OS KERNEL-OS
|
||||
|
||||
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
||||
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
|
||||
need to know the machine type.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
|
||||
use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
|
||||
produce code for.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
|
||||
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
|
||||
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
|
||||
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
|
||||
|
||||
Sharing Defaults
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
|
||||
can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
|
||||
values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
||||
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
||||
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
||||
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
||||
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
||||
|
||||
Defining Variables
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
|
||||
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
|
||||
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
|
||||
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
|
||||
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
|
||||
|
||||
causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
|
||||
overridden in the site shell script). Here is a another example:
|
||||
|
||||
/bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
|
||||
|
||||
Here the `CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash' operand causes subsequent
|
||||
configuration-related scripts to be executed by `/bin/bash'.
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' Invocation
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
|
||||
|
||||
`--help'
|
||||
`-h'
|
||||
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--version'
|
||||
`-V'
|
||||
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
||||
script, and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--cache-file=FILE'
|
||||
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
|
||||
traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
|
||||
disable caching.
|
||||
|
||||
`--config-cache'
|
||||
`-C'
|
||||
Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
|
||||
|
||||
`--quiet'
|
||||
`--silent'
|
||||
`-q'
|
||||
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
|
||||
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
|
||||
messages will still be shown).
|
||||
|
||||
`--srcdir=DIR'
|
||||
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
|
||||
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
|
||||
`configure --help' for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
To assist with that, there's an argument available in configure
|
||||
(or autogen, which will pass it to configure) which disables
|
||||
mime type processing:
|
||||
--enable-packager-mode
|
||||
This argument should disable postinstall calls made during
|
||||
make install, and print a nasty warning during configure.
|
||||
IT IS PACKAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY to follow the advice given
|
||||
by the configure output and to copy the appropriate code
|
||||
from the src/data/Makefile.am into the post-install (and post-uninstall)
|
||||
of the particular packaging system.
