Requirements
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
You will need a C++98 compiler with support for 'long long'.
|
||
|
|
(gcc 3.3.6 or newer is recommended).
|
||
|
|
I use gcc 6.1.0 and 3.3.6, but the code should compile with any standards
|
||
|
|
compliant compiler.
|
||
|
|
Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The operating system must allow signal handlers read access to objects with
|
||
|
|
static storage duration so that the cleanup handler for Control-C can delete
|
||
|
|
the partial output file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Procedure
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tar -xf lzip[version].tar.lz
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
lzip -cd lzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This creates the directory ./lzip[version] containing the source code
|
||
|
|
extracted from the archive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Change to lzip directory and run configure.
|
||
|
|
(Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd lzip[version]
|
||
|
|
./configure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are compiling on MinGW, use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Run make.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with lzip.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and
|
||
|
|
documentation. You need root privileges to install into a prefix owned
|
||
|
|
by root.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or type 'make install-compress', which additionally compresses the
|
||
|
|
info manual and the man page after installation.
|
||
|
|
(Installing compressed docs may become the default in the future).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can install only the program, the info manual, or the man page by
|
||
|
|
typing 'make install-bin', 'make install-info', or 'make install-man'
|
||
|
|
respectively.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another way
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
You can also compile lzip into a separate directory.
|
||
|
|
To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the variable
|
||
|
|
'VPATH', 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 '.', in '..', and
|
||
|
|
in the directory that 'configure' is in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'configure' recognizes the option '--srcdir=DIR' to control where to look
|
||
|
|
for the source code. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory
|
||
|
|
automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as
|
||
|
|
explained above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building without 'make'
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
If you need to build lzip on a system lacking a 'make' program, you can use
|
||
|
|
'configure' to build, check, and install the lzip executable like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure --build --check --installdir=/usr/local/bin
