1 Installation Instructions
2 *************************
12 - omniORB 4.05 or more,
14 - SALOME 3.2.x KERNEL (for SALOME tests)
17 - with g++>= 4.1, problem with CORBA::Any and double, for omniORB <= 4.0.7
18 You need to take the latest omniORB cvs snapshot from http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/snapshots
23 SALOME is required for directories runtime and yacsloader. For tests with make check,
24 we suppose that all SALOME <modules>_ROOT_DIR are in a directory under a name
25 <PATH_TO_ROOT_DIR>/<MODULE>_<VERSION>, for instance $HOME/SALOME/KERNEL_V3_2_3.
26 We also suppose that there a script that sets prerequisites environment for SALOME
27 under the name <PATH_TO_ROOT_DIR>/profile_<VERSION>.
28 So, to define SALOME installation, just KERNEL_ROOT_DIR is required. Other path
31 build and install are done in separate directories, not in source directory.
32 For instance, if the path to YACS sources is ${BASEREP}/YACS_SRC::
34 export KERNEL_ROOT_DIR=...
40 cd ${BASEREP}/YACS_SRC
45 ../YACS_SRC/configure --prefix=${BASEREP}/install

65 These are generic installation instructions.
67 The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
68 various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
69 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
70 It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
71 definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
72 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
73 file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
74 debugging `configure').
76 It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
77 and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
78 the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
79 disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
82 If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
83 to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
84 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
85 be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
86 some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
87 may remove or edit it.
89 The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
90 `configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
91 `configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
92 a newer version of `autoconf'.
94 The simplest way to compile this package is:
96 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
97 `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
98 using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
99 `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
102 Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
103 messages telling which features it is checking for.
105 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
107 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
110 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
113 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
114 source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
115 files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
116 a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
117 also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
118 for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
119 all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
120 with the distribution.
122 Compilers and Options
123 =====================
125 Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
126 `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for
127 details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
129 You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
130 by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
133 ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
135 *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
137 Compiling For Multiple Architectures
138 ====================================
140 You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
141 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
142 own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
143 supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
144 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
145 the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
146 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
148 If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
149 variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
150 time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
151 package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
152 for another architecture.
157 By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
158 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
159 installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
160 option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
162 You can specify separate installation prefixes for
163 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
164 give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX', the package will
165 use PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
166 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
168 In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
169 options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
170 kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
171 you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
173 If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
174 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
175 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
180 Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
181 `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
182 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
183 is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
184 `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
187 For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
188 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
189 you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
190 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
192 Specifying the System Type
193 ==========================
195 There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
196 but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
197 Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
198 architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
199 message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
200 `--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
201 type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
205 where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
209 See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
210 `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
211 need to know the machine type.
213 If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
214 use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
217 If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
218 platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
219 "host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
220 eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
225 If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
226 can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
227 values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
228 `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
229 `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
230 `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
231 A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
236 Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
237 environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
238 configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
239 variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
240 them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
242 ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
244 causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
245 overridden in the site shell script). Here is a another example:
247 /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
249 Here the `CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash' operand causes subsequent
250 configuration-related scripts to be executed by `/bin/bash'.
252 `configure' Invocation
253 ======================
255 `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
259 Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
263 Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
267 Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
268 traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
273 Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
278 Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
279 suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
280 messages will still be shown).
283 Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
284 `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
286 `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
287 `configure --help' for more details.
