Compatibility notes
===================
OS/X 10.6, compile with gcc-4.0 rather than the default gcc that
comes with XCode.
CC=gcc-4.0 CXX=g++-4.0 ./configure
Quickstart
==========
As root:
./configure
make
make install
The default install location for GEOS is /usr/local.
Linux: Make sure that /usr/local/lib is added to /etc/ld.so.conf
Make sure that you run /sbin/ldconfig afterwards
Solaris: Make sure that /usr/local/lib is added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Basic Installation
==================
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
Installation Names
==================
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'.
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.
--prefix
Change the default installation location
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
