HOW TO BUILD AND INSTALL DISCOUNT 1) Unpacking the distribution The DISCOUNT sources are distributed in tarballs. After extracting from the tarball, you should end up with all the source and build files in the directory discount-(version) 2) Installing the distribution DISCOUNT uses configure.sh to set itself up for compilation. To run configure, just do ``./configure.sh'' and it will check your system for build dependencies and build makefiles for you. If configure.sh finishes without complaint, you can then do a ``make'' to compile everything and a ``make install'' to install the binaries. Configure.sh has a few options that can be set: --src=DIR where the source lives (.) --prefix=DIR where to install the final product (/usr/local) --execdir=DIR where to put executables (prefix/bin) --sbindir=DIR where to put static executables (prefix/sbin) --confdir=DIR where to put configuration information (/etc) --libdir=DIR where to put libraries (prefix/lib) --libexecdir=DIR where to put private executables --mandir=DIR where to put manpages --enable-dl-tag Use the DL tag extension --enable-pandoc-header Use pandoc-style header blocks --enable-superscript A^B expands to AB --enable-amalloc Use a debugging memory allocator (to detect leaks) --relaxed-emphasis Don't treat _ in the middle of a word as emphasis --with-tabstops=N Set tabstops to N characters (default is 4) 3) Installing sample programs and manpages The standard ``make install'' rule just installs the binaries. If you want to install the sample programs, they are installed with ``make install.samples''; to install manpages, ``make install.man''. A shortcut to install everything is ``make install.everything''
