1 INSTALL - how to compile and install GNU Solfege 3.23.4 on a GNU like system
******************************************************************************
This file contains info on how to build and install GNU Solfege. For
run-time info, check the README file and the man page.
1.1 Download
============
The source code is also available from the GNU ftp sites and their
mirrors: `ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/solfege' and
`ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/solfege'.
Precompiled binaries are made available for some releases. I build the
windows installer, a linux distribution neutral autopackage for i386
computers and the debian package myself. But I am depending on users to
provide binaries for other operating systems. The debian package is
available directly from `http://www.debian.org'. The rest are
available from Sourceforge:
`http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1465'.
1.2 Requirements
================
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
should work, and will install into
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/share
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/etc/solfege
./configure
gmake
su -c "gmake install"
./configure --help
1.3.1 `--disable-pygtk-test'
----------------------------
Do not test for PyGTK, assume it is installed. Use this option if you
know the package is installed, but the configure script still cannot
detect it.
1.3.2 `--disable-oss-sound'
---------------------------
Use this if you are compiling on an OS that don't have the OSS. The
default is `--enable-oss-sound'.
