| Building and Installing Quagga from releases or snapshots: |
| |
| The 'INSTALL' file contains generic instructions on how to use 'configure' |
| scripts. |
| |
| Quagga can be compiled with either BSD make or GNU make. |
| GNU make 3.80 is known to work. |
| The following system makes are known to work |
| NetBSD 1.6.2 |
| NetBSD 2.0 |
| |
| 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'. If you have trouble building |
| from CVS checkout it is recommended that you try a CVS snapshot instead. |
| |
| If you are building 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 |
| |
| To create the required autotools files (Makefile.in, configure, etc.), |
| run either the 'update-autotools' script provided, or else the |
| 'autoreconf -i' command supplied with your autoconf package. After this |
| you may run configure. GNU texinfo is required in order to build |
| doc/quagga.info, which is not supplied in CVS, but is supplied in the |
| CVS snapshots on the Quagga website. quagga.info is created via |
| makeinfo during the build. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
