Installation Procedure
----------------------
Installation is now done by a script which will do the dirty work. This
script can be executed once only, unless you undo all changes the script
has done. Basically, if you already have installed MBSE BBS, or there
are parts left of an old installation, the script will abort and inform
you why. We hope this will give a better and more universal setup on
most distributions.
Installing MBSE BBS for the first time
--------------------------------------
Login as root and type the following commands to do the basic install:
cd /tmp
tar xfvj /@prefix@/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
cd @PACKAGE-VERSION@
bash ./SETUP.sh
This will setup a new directory structure /opt/mbse and creates some
necessary users. If this is successful, logout and login as user
"mbse".
To build and install MBSE BBS, type the following commands:
cd
tar xfvj /@prefix@/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@
./configure
make
su
[type root password]
make install
exit
@prefix@/bin/mbtask
Note: On BSD systems, use gmake instead of make.
The next step is to read the documentation in @prefix@/html with a
browser.
After your system is configured and tested type "sh ./CRON.sh" to
install a default crontab for the BBS.
Upgrading MBSE BBS on a running system
---------------------------------------
Login as user "mbse", backup your BBS configuration, and then type the
following commands:
cd
tar xfvj /@prefix@/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@
./configure
make
su
[type root password]
make install
exit
Read the ChangeLog file for update instructions from the version
you were running and the version you have just installed over the old
version. Perform the upgrades step by step, version by version.
Next the instructions for the standard GNU installation programs:
Basic Installation
==================
These are generic installation instructions.
The 'configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for various
system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses those values to
create a 'Makefile' in each directory of the package. It may also create
one or more '.h' files containing system-dependent definitions. Finally, it
creates a shell script 'config.status' that you can run in the future to
recreate the current configuration and the following files:
** 'config.cache' which saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring;
** 'config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging
'configure').
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how 'configure' could check whether to do them and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in 'README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If at some point 'config.cache'
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file 'configure.in' is used to create 'configure' by a program
called 'autoconf'. You only need 'configure.in' if you want to change
it or regenerate 'configure' using a newer version of 'autoconf'.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. 'cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
'./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using 'csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
'sh ./configure' instead to prevent 'csh' from trying to execute
'configure' itself.
Running 'configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type 'make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type 'make check' to run any self-tests that come with
the package.
4. Type 'make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing 'make clean'. To also remove the
files that 'configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type 'make distclean'. There is
also a 'make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
with the distribution.
Compilers and Options
=====================
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the 'configure' script does not know about. You can give 'configure'
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
this:
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
Or on systems that have the 'env' program, you can do it like this:
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that
supports the 'VPATH' variable, 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 the directory that 'configure' is in and in '..'.
If you have to use a 'make' that does not supports the 'VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
one architecture, use 'make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
architecture.
Installation Names
==================
By default, 'make install' will install the package's files in
'@prefix@/bin', '@prefix@/etc', et cetera. You can specify an
installation prefix other than '/' by giving 'configure' the
option '--prefix=PATH'. This is NOT ADVISED for MBSE BBS!!!
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
give 'configure' the option '--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like '--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run 'configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving 'configure' the
option '--program-prefix=PREFIX' or '--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
Optional Features
=================
Some packages pay attention to '--enable-FEATURE' options to
'configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to '--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like 'gnu-as' or 'x' (for the X Window System). The
'README' should mention any '--enable-' and '--with-' options that the
package recognizes.
For packages that use the X Window System, 'configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the 'configure' options '--x-includes=DIR' and
'--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
Specifying the System Type
==========================
There may be some features 'configure' can not figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
will run on. Usually 'configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
'--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as 'sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
See the file 'config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
'config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the host type.
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
use the '--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
produce code for and the '--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
system on which you are compiling the package.
Sharing Defaults
================
If you want to set default values for 'configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called 'config.site' that gives
default values for variables like 'CC', 'cache_file', and 'prefix'.
'configure' looks for 'PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
'PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
'CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all 'configure' scripts look for a site script.
Operation Controls
==================
'configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.
'--cache-file=FILE'
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
'./config.cache'. Set FILE to '/dev/null' to disable caching, for
debugging 'configure'.
'--help'
Print a summary of the options to 'configure', and exit.
'--quiet'
'--silent'
'-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to '/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).
'--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
'configure' can determine that directory automatically.
'--version'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the 'configure'
script, and exit.
'configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
