| Building and Installing Quagga: |
| |
| The 'INSTALL' file contains generic instructions on how to use 'configure' |
| scripts. |
| |
| For further Quagga specific information on 'configure' and build-time |
| configuration of the software, please read the Quagga info documentation, |
| (doc/quagga.info). To read the info page included with the Quagga sources |
| without first installing Quagga: |
| |
| cd doc/ |
| pinfo -r quagga.info |
| |
| Assuming you have the user-friendly 'pinfo' info browser installed. |
| |
| You can also the standard GNU 'info' browser, if you prefer this browser you |
| have no doubt already spent a lot of time reading its documentation and dont |
| need to be told how to specify an info file by filename. ;) |
| |
| The Quagga website should also have recent versions of documentation |
| available online. |
| |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Building Quagga from CVS checkouts: |
| |
| In order to build from CVS, you will need recent versions of several GNU |
| tools, particularly autoconf, automake, libtool and texinfo. Note that the |
| CVS snapshots on the Quagga website do not require these tools; everything |
| is already setup ready to run 'configure', and if you have trouble building |
| from CVS checkout it is recommended that you try a CVS snapshot instead. |
| |
| If you must build from plain CVS checkouts, the versions which should work |
| at least with: |
| |
| automake: 1.8.5 |
| autoconf: 2.59 |
| libtool: 1.5.6 |
| texinfo: 4.7-4 |
| |
| To create the required files, run either the 'update-autotools' script |
| provided, or else the 'autoreconf' command supplied with your autoconf |
| package. After this you may run configure. You will need a recentish version |
| of GNU Texinfo in order to build doc/quagga.info, which is not supplied in |
| CVS, but is supplied in the CVS snapshots on the Quagga website. You will |
| need to run make to create this file. |
| |
| Please refer to "Building and Installing Quagga" above for further |
| instructions. |
| |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Notes on required versions: |
| |
| The general goal is to use a modern baseline of tools, while not |
| imposing pain on those tracking stable distributions. The notes below |
| explain what versions are present in various environments. |
| |
| TODO: |
| texinfo 4.7-4 is not a version of texinfo, per |
| http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/. |
| |
| NetBSD pkgsrc provides automake 1.9.1 autoconf 2.59 libtool 1.5.6 |
| NetBSD 1.6.2 and 2.0 provide texinfo 4.6. |
