| 1: Compilation and installation of pal |
+---------------------------------------------------------+
----- 1.1: Directly from source -----
1) Untar/unzip the pal-x.x.x.tgz package:
tar -xzf pal-x.x.x.tgz
cd pal-x.x.x/src
2) (Optional) By default, pal is installed into directories under
/usr. Some distributions usually install things to /usr/local. To
change where pal will be installed to, change the "prefix" line at
the top of Makefile.defs.
3) Compile pal
make
4) Install pal:
WITH root access: Run "make install" as root. This will install
several files including the pal binary, global calendar files, and
the man page. (Special note to developers: Use "make
install-no-rm" if you don't want the install process to attempt to
remove old pal files. This is useful for when creating a package
file for package managers such as portage or rpm.)
WITHOUT root access; single user: Run "mkdir ~/.pal" as the user
you want to run pal as. Copy the pal-x.x.x/pal.conf file and
whatever calendars you want from pal-x.x.x/share into ~/.pal. To
view the man page, run "man pal-x.x.x/pal.1.template".
5) (Optional) Delete pal-x.x.x.tgz and the pal-x.x.x directory.
6) Run pal by typing "pal" at the commandline. This will create
~/.pal and ~/.pal/pal.conf if they do not already exist.
7) Customize
- Explore settings in ~/.pal/pal.conf
- You can create your own calendar file in ~/.pal and tell pal
to load them by making changes to ~/.pal/pal.conf. For more
information see pal's man page.
TO UNINSTALL, run "make uninstall" in src while root.
----- 1.2: RPM-Based distributions -----
(.tgz -> .src.rpm -> .rpm)
1) Generate the .src.rpm file. As root, run:
rpmbuild -ts pal-x.x.x.tgz
2) Compile the .src.rpm file to a .rpm file. As root, run (where
SRCRPMFILE is the filename that was displayed in while running the
command in step 1):
rpmbuild --rebuild SRCRPMFILE
3) Install as root. Where RPMFILE is the filename displayed at the
end of the output of the step 2.
If installing for the first time:
rpm -ivh RPMFILE
If upgrading a previous installation:
rpm -Uvh RPMFILE
4) (Optional) Remove unneeded files: pal-x.x.x.tgz, RPMFILE and
SRCRPMFILE
5) Follow steps 6 and 7 in the section above (Installing DIRECTLY FROM
SOURCE).
TO UNINSTALL, run the following command as root:
rpm -e pal
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| 2: Compilation and installation of ical2pal & pal2ical |
+---------------------------------------------------------+
ical2pal and pal2ical are conversion utilities that convert calendars
between pal's calendar format and the ical format (RFC 2445).
You must have libical (http://www.softwarestudio.org/libical/)
installed to compile and use the conversion utilities. You do not
need to install the utilities to use pal.
NOTE: ical2pal and pal2ical are very new and likely contain bugs.
1) Untar/unzip the pal-x.x.x.tgz package:
tar -xzf pal-x.x.x.tgz
cd pal-x.x.x/src/convert
2) make ical
3) make ical-install
