| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | This is what you need to do to install Pike:
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | |
1) Run ./configure, this is a sh script that will generate machine.h and
Makefile from machine.h.in and Makefile.in, use --prefix=/foo/bar
|
| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | if you want to install Pike in /foo/bar, default is /usr/local.
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | |
|
| 2e2dbf | 1996-06-21 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | You might have to set the environment variables C_INCLUDE_PATH and
|
| f3c90d | 1996-07-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | LD_LIBRARY_PATH to enable the configure script to find gdbm, readline
and gmp. If the configure script does not find those libraries those
modules will not be available.
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | |
2) edit config.h and Makefile to suit your purposes.
I've tried to make it so that you don't have to change config.h or
Makefile very much. If you need to do what you consider 'unnessecary
changes' then mail me and I'll try to fit it into configure.
If possible, use gnu make, gcc, gnu sed and bison.
3) Run make.
4) optionally, run 'make verify' to check that the compiled driver works
|
| 2a5010 | 1995-11-06 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | as it should (might be a good idea) This will take a little time and use
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | quite a lot of memory, because the testprogram is quite large. If everything
works out fine no extra messages are written.
|
| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | 5) If you want to install Pike, write 'make install'
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | |
|
| 8ce9ad | 1996-05-16 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | 6) Optionally do 'make html_docs' to create a directory called docs which
|
| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | will contain the Pike documentation in html. This directory can then
|
| 8ce9ad | 1996-05-16 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | be copied to anywhere you want.
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | |
What to do when it doesn't work:
1) Try again.
|
| 2a5010 | 1995-11-06 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | 2) Your sh might be too buggy to run ./configure. (This is the case on A/UX)
Try using bash, zsh or possibly ksh. To use bash, first run /bin/sh and
type:
$ CONFIG_SHELL=full_path_for_bash
$ export CONFIG_SHELL
$ $CONFIG_SHELL ./configure
3) ./configure relies heavily on sed, if you have several sed in your path
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | try another sed. (preferably gnu sed)
|
| 2a5010 | 1995-11-06 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | 4) configure might have done something wrong, check machine.h and report
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | any errors back to me.
|
| 2a5010 | 1995-11-06 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | 5) Try a different compiler, malloc, compiler-compiler and/or make.
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | (if you have any other)
|
| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | 6) On Linux Slackware machines (older than slackware 3.0), Pike sometimes
|
| 2a5010 | 1995-11-06 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | fails to find -lm, this is because of a bug in /usr/lib/libm.sa
(or possibly libg.a) in slackware.
|
| bf4a8d | 1995-10-20 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | Compile with 'make EXTRALIBS="-lc -lm"' to get around this bug.
7)
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | If you find a bug in the interpreter, the first thing to do is to make sure
the interpreter is compiled with DEBUG defined. If not recompile with DEBUG
and see if you get another error. When you've done this, please report the
|
| 2a5010 | 1995-11-06 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | bug to hubbe@lysator.liu.se and include as much as you can muster of the
following:
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | |
|
| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | o The version of the driver. (can be found in lib/simulate.pike)
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | o What kind of system hardware/software you use (OS, compiler, etc.)
o the piece of code that crashes or bugs.
|
| 06983f | 1996-09-22 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | (preferably in a very small pike-script with the bug isolated)
|
| 5267b7 | 1995-08-09 | Fredrik Hübinette (Hubbe) | | Please send a complete running example of something that makes the
interpreter bug.
o a description of what it is that bugs and when.
o if you know how then also give me a backtrace and dump of vital variables
at the point of crash.
o or, if you found the error and corrected it, just send me the bugfix along
with a description of what you did and why.
