1 INSTALL - how to compile and install GNU Solfege 3.6.4 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.
The homepage for GNU Solfege, `http://www.solfege.org', might also
be of interest.
1.1 Download
============
1.1.1 Source code
-----------------
The latest version is available from
`http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1465'.
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'.
1.1.2 Precompiled binaries
--------------------------
Precompiled binaries are made available for some releases. I build the
windows installer, a liunx 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
================
The requirements are listed in the `README' file.
1.3 Configuring and compiling
=============================
./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
On FreeBSD you can use gmake:
./configure
gmake
su -c "gmake install"
Use the `--prefix' and `--sysconfdir' command line options to
install elsewhere. For example to install in your home directory:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --sysconfdir=$HOME/etc
make
make install
If you just want to run Solfege without installing, do this:
./configure
make
./solfege.py
The `configure' script can be given a number of options to enable
and disable various features. Some of them are described below. For a
complete list, type:
./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'.
1.4 Packaging
=============
1.4.1 Debian
------------
Rename `debian-dir' to `debian' and run:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
1.4.2 Rpm-based distributions
-----------------------------
I did collection some spec files for rpm-based distros, contributed by
users. But these have not been updated for a very long time, so I do not
think they will work any more. Also, I do not test these spec files
myself, so you should send me an update if some of the Requires or
BuildRequires fields are wrong. Please notice that there may be a
difference between version 9 and 9.1 of a distro. Give me the exact
version number!
Here is an example how to build a binary rpm package for Red Hat 9.
Replace the filenames to fit your distro if required.
cp solfege-3.6.4.tar.gz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
tar zxf solfege-3.6.4.tar.gz
rpm -bb solfege-3.6.4/solfege.redhat9.spec
rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/solfege-3.6.4
Hopefully, binary rpm packages for some distributions will be
provided later.
