INSTALLATION FROM A SOURCE DISTRIBUTION
The source distribution comes in a compressed tar file. To extract the
software do something like:
% zcat <somewhere>/v3.0beta099-tar.Z | tar xf -
(uncompress and extract individual files). The
software is almost entirely written in C++.
If you do not have a working C++
compiler and associated libraries for your machine, check
here for information on obtaining GNU gcc
and libg++.
 |
If you plan to use GNU gcc to build the software, you must use version
2.6.1 or newer. gcc 2.6.3 and libg++ 2.6.2 are the current recommended versions
of the GNU tools to use, though newer versions should also work. |
To build and install executables from the sources check the
the section on system-specific guidance
for any known problems, then do the following:
% ./configure # see above
% make
% su # NB: installation must be done by the super-user
# make install
If you have problems building the software consult the
complete documentation on building the software
and the HylaFAQ.
To complete the installation you may need to install one or more of the
following:
- Ghostscript
or the Display PostScript-based PostScript interpreter that is supplied
in binary form for Silicon Graphics machines.
There is information on
obtaining and setting up Ghostscript
and information on
obtaining the ps2fax program
.
If you use Ghostscript, do not forget to get the fonts!
- If you are using Ghostscript you may also need to install
Adobe Font Metric files; these should have been automatically
configured for installation if they were not found on the system
where the build took place.
Once you have the software installed, see the chapter on
Server Setup and Basic Configuration to understand how to
complete the installation procedure.
