Guide to compilation and installation of the mined editor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build
- Go to the main package directory (the one containing this INSTALL file),
then invoke make:
make
This automatically selects a suitable makefile in the 'src'
subdirectory for the most common operating environments, based on
the output of the 'uname' command.
To override automatic selection of the makefile and use gcc,
you may invoke:
CC=gcc make
If you want to check mined with curses, you may invoke:
make minced
This uses the ncursesw library which supports UTF-8. Using curses is
discouraged, however; see the comments in doc/compilation.
If compilation fails, you may try to select a suitable makefile
in the subdirectory src:
cd src; make -f makefile.<system>
Choose one closest to your operating system. Also please consult the
file doc/compilation for some hints on how to adapt a makefile for
your system. In this case, if you need help, or if you finally
succeed, please send a note to mined@towo.net so I can extend the
range of automatically supported systems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install
- For installation into the usual system directories under /usr
of your target system, being the super-user (root), invoke:
make install
Alternatively, to install into /usr/local, invoke:
make localinstall
Alternatively, to install into /opt, invoke:
make optinstall
Alternatively (especially if you are not the "root" user),
to install into $HOME/opt, invoke:
make homeinstall
This installs the binary program, the manual page, the online help
file, and the runtime support library, to appropriate locations as
used by various systems.
If you want to install to other locations, adapt the first few
variables in the makefile you use (src/makefile....) before
installation, or copy the compiled binary program manually to a
suitable place in your search path.
If the online help file mined.hlp (from the usrshare directory of
the mined distribution) is not installed in one of the usual places,
configure your environment so that MINEDHELPFILE contains the full
path name of the online help file mined.hlp.
