COMPATIBILITY
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.2.xx, 2.4.xx,
2.6.xx, and hopefully all future kernels. You should be
running a system with libc 6, but libc 5 might work too.
INSTALLATION
make
make install
Only the second ("make install") is needed if you just
want to build and install procps in the normal way.
If you wish to test before installing, use the scripts
named t, v, and p to ensure that the correct libproc
(the new one) is used during your testing.
You may set SKIP to avoid building or installing things.
For example:
make SKIP='/bin/kill /usr/share/man/man1/kill.1' install
Use SHARED=0 to build procps without shared libraries.
This may be useful for installing in your home directory.
make SHARED=0 DESTDIR=$HOME install
Suppose you wanted to install stuff in strange places.
You might do something like this:
make usr/bin=/tmp/fff/iii/ DESTDIR=/tmp/fff install="install -D" ldconfig=echo install
If cross-compiling, you might need to set lib64 to
either "lib" or "lib64", like one of these examples:
make lib64=lib CFLAGS="-O2 -m32"
make lib64=lib64 CC=x86_64-gcc
BUG REPORTS
Debian users should use the Debian bug tracking system.
Email to albert@users.sf.net or csmall@debian.org or
procps-feedback@lists.sf.net will also work.
