gecco ----- INSTALL ------- 1999/12/21 INSTRUCTIONS ------------ Please see the accompanying README file before continuing. BUILDING -------- 1. extract the source files with: gzip -dc gecco..tar.gz | tar -xvf - 2. "cd gecco-" 3. "./configure" 4. "make" 5. "make install" Alternately, gecco can build not only itself, but any plugins which have been extracted under the "plugins" directory. This is accomplished by either extracting plugin sources under the "plugins" directory, or simply placing the archives (*.tar.gz) in there, where they will be automatically extracted as part of the build process: 1. Follow steps 1 through 3, inclusive, above. 2. Ensure that either the extracted plugin sources or the tarballs are in the "plugins" directory. 3. "make everything" 4. "make install-everything" If a build for a plugin fails, the gecco build process will simply move on to the next plugin, and build what it can. It is advisable, however, to view the individual plugin "README" and "INSTALL" files of each plugin before building, as there may be specific instructions. UNINSTALLING ------------ 1. "cd gecco-" 2. "make uninstall" Alternately, gecco can uninstall itself and any plugins whose source still exists in the "plugins" directory of the gecco source tree: 1. "cd gecco-" 2. "make uninstall-everything" MISC ---- Other "make" rules exist. Some are as follows: clean clean-everything includes "plugins" directory contents distclean distclean-everything includes "plugins" directory contents dist creates a distribution tarball of the sources dist-everything includes "plugins" directory contents See "Makefile" for others.
