1 < MON INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2 < =============================
1 > Basic Installation
2 > ==================
3  
4 < BeOS:
5 <  If you have a binary distribution of mon for BeOS, there are executables
6 <  for BeOS/PPC and/or BeOS/x86 included. If you have the source distribution,
7 <  do the following:
8 <
9 <    cd src/BeOS
10 <    make
11 <
12 <  This will produce an executable "mon" in the "obj.ppc" or "obj.x86"
13 <  directory. To compile mon, you need the GNU readline library (which comes
14 <  as part of the "bash" archive in the GNU sources that are distributed
15 <  with BeOS).
16 <
17 < Unix:
18 <  To compile mon, do the following:
19 <
20 <    cd src/Unix
21 <    ./configure
22 <    make
23 <    make install    [optionally]
4 >   These are generic installation instructions.
5 >
6 >   The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
7 > various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
8 > those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
9 > It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
10 > definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
11 > you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
12 > `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
13 > reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
14 > (useful mainly for debugging `configure').
15 >
16 >   If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
17 > to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
18 > diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
19 > be considered for the next release.  If at some point `config.cache'
20 > contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
21 >
22 >   The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
23 > called `autoconf'.  You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
24 > it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
25 >
26 > The simplest way to compile this package is:
27 >
28 >  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
29 >     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
30 >     using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
31 >     `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
32 >     `configure' itself.
33 >
34 >     Running `configure' takes awhile.  While running, it prints some
35 >     messages telling which features it is checking for.
36 >
37 >  2. Type `make' to compile the package.
38 >
39 >  3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
40 >     the package.
41 >
42 >  4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
43 >     documentation.
44 >
45 >  5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
46 >     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the
47 >     files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
48 >     a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is
49 >     also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
50 >     for the package's developers.  If you use it, you may have to get
51 >     all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
52 >     with the distribution.
53 >
54 > Compilers and Options
55 > =====================
56 >
57 >   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
58 > the `configure' script does not know about.  You can give `configure'
59 > initial values for variables by setting them in the environment.  Using
60 > a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
61 > this:
62 >     CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
63 >
64 > Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
65 >     env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
66 >
67 > Compiling For Multiple Architectures
68 > ====================================
69 >
70 >   You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
71 > same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
72 > own directory.  To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
73 > supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'.  `cd' to the
74 > directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
75 > the `configure' script.  `configure' automatically checks for the
76 > source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
77 >
78 >   If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
79 > variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
80 > in the source code directory.  After you have installed the package for
81 > one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
82 > architecture.
83 >
84 > Installation Names
85 > ==================
86 >
87 >   By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
88 > `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an
89 > installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
90 > option `--prefix=PATH'.
91 >
92 >   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
93 > architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
94 > give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
95 > PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
96 > Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
97 >
98 >   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
99 > options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
100 > kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
101 > you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
102 >
103 >   If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
104 > with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
105 > option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
106 >
107 > Optional Features
108 > =================
109 >
110 >   Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
111 > `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
112 > They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
113 > is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The
114 > `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
115 > package recognizes.
116 >
117 >   For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
118 > find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
119 > you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
120 > `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
121 >
122 > Specifying the System Type
123 > ==========================
124 >
125 >   There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
126 > automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
127 > will run on.  Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
128 > a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
129 > `--host=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
130 > type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
131 >     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
132 >
133 > See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
134 > `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
135 > need to know the host type.
136 >
137 >   If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
138 > use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
139 > produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
140 > system on which you are compiling the package.
141 >
142 > Sharing Defaults
143 > ================
144 >
145 >   If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
146 > you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
147 > default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
148 > `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
149 > `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
150 > `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
151 > A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
152 >
153 > Operation Controls
154 > ==================
155 >
156 >   `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
157 > operates.
158 >
159 > `--cache-file=FILE'
160 >     Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
161 >     `./config.cache'.  Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
162 >     debugging `configure'.
163 >
164 > `--help'
165 >     Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
166 >
167 > `--quiet'
168 > `--silent'
169 > `-q'
170 >     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To
171 >     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
172 >     messages will still be shown).
173 >
174 > `--srcdir=DIR'
175 >     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
176 >     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
177 >
178 > `--version'
179 >     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
180 >     script, and exit.
181 >
182 > `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
