Installation instructions for gcvs on SUNOS/Sparc machine

+ Extract files
+ Configure
+ Make
+ Make install

E. Tips and Tricks
*********************************************************************
A.-----Introduction-----
This file is just intended to give ONE MEAN to install gcvs on
a SunOS Machine. It is the result of some experiences from a
linux user to install it on a SUN machine without
* neither SUN Administration experience
* nor a lot of C programming knowledges...
For any advanced SUN administrator, this document shouldn't be
a lot of help...
In this file, '$' is used to replace your prompt shell.
Installation has been tested by me on
* 5 Sun SPARC 2.6
* 2 Sun SPARC 7
B.-----Requirements for gcvs-----
+ SUN packages
These tools are available as SUN package.
(from SUN Site http://www.sunfreeware.com)
. tcl 8.1 or better
. tk 8.1 or better
. GNU make 3.78.1 (Sun 7 & 8)
. flex 2.5.4a
+ libraries to compile
. glib 1.2.7 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/
. gtk+ 1.2.7 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/
. GNU make 3.77 (Sun 2.5 & 2.6) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
C.-----Installation Instructions-----
* Check the [Requirements for gcvs] section first and make sure
everything is fine.
+[EXTRACT FILES]
* Type
$gzip -d gcvs-<version>.tar.gz
$tar -xvf gcvs-<version>.tar
* Then, go to the gftp-<version> directory
+[CONFIGURE]
$./configure
The command configure will generate a Makefile for your
machine. By default, when you run configure, it will
install gcvs with the prefix :
/usr/local
So the gcvs binary will be
/usr/local/gcvs/bin/gcvs
You can change this by typing
$./configure --prefix=/usr
And it will then install the gcvs binary in :
/usr/gcvs/bin/gcvs
This is one point different from many other package.
Installation of gcvs is made by default in :
PREFIX/gcvs/bin/gcvs
You should create a link for gcvs in one of the directory
in your PATH. By example, (with PREFIX=/usr/local):
$ln -s /usr/local/gcvs/bin/gcvs /usr/local/bin/gcvs
+[MAKE]
make will compile a binary for your machine.
Be sure that the make is the GNU make.
If you type :
$make --version
You should see :
"GNU Make version 3.77, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Copyright (C) 1988, 89, 90, 91..."
If not, you are probably using SUN version of make.
(usually located in "/usr/ccs/bin/make")
Then use complete path of your GNU make program
(maybe "/usr/local/bin/make")
+[MAKE INSTALL]
Login as root if necessary and then type
$make install
Then, everything should work perfectly!
You now can run :
$/usr/local/gcvs/bin/gcvs
D.-----BUGS-----
During the make procedure, I encounter on some machine
a problem like this :
"Making all in Macros
make[2]: Entering directory `/export/home/gwendal/gcvs-1.0a4/Macros'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `*.tcl', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/home/gwendal/gcvs-1.0a4/Macros'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/gwendal/gcvs-1.0a4'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2"
If so, edit the gcvs-<version>/Makefile file and replace the line
SUBDIRS = common cvstree rf gcvs Macros cvsunix GuiDoc
by :
SUBDIRS = common cvstree rf gcvs cvsunix GuiDoc
and do a $make again.
Everything will work except the Macros menu... It will probably be
fixed in future release.
E.-----TIPS AND TRICKS-----
Installation of required packages should be easy but there are some
things maybe not trivial that could be mentionned.
Use mainly GNU tools to compile this application:
GNU flex 2.5.4.a, GNU gcc 2.95.2, GNU make 3.77 or better
the "ar", "as" programs from solaris could be used and must be in your
PATH (usually in /usr/ccs/bin)
There are a lot of warnings while compiling GTK1.2.7 in the Xutil.h
file but apparently it doesn't impact the gcvs compilation...
Librairies GTK and Glib 1.2.0 and better should work fine but not
tested by me on SUN... (please, let me know your experiences...)
I used GNU make 3.77 instead of 3.76.1 package (let me know if it works
on your system with the package 3.76.1 version) compiled from source :
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
For SunOS8 and SunOS7 package for GNU Make 3.78.1 is
available and works fine.
If you install tcl/tk or other needed package with the local "mode", be
sure that you have added :
/usr/local/bin in your environment PATH variable
/usr/local/lib in your environment LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
After each package installation, try the command "rehash" for the system
to find the new tools added.
