Compilation and Installation
Quick Start:
If you're in a hurry to see ticker, just run "make test" now --
ticker will be compiled and will run.
Then, read the rest of this file. :-)
Libraries:
To build the program, you will need the slang library. This can be
found at ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/
Configuration:
Ticker uses an autoconf configure script. Typically, if you want
the ticker binaries installed in /usr/bin, you should type:
./configure --prefix=/usr
To get a list of all the possible arguments the configure script can
use, type:
./configure --help
Note that if you have slang installed in a nonstandard location, you
might need to set two variables before you are run ./configure in
the next step:
SLANG_LIB_LOC Set this to the directory where the slang
libraries are located.
SLANG_H_LOC Set this to the filename where slang.h is
located.
After running configure, you might want to take a look at
makeinfo, which is part of Ticker's makefile - there are a few
options you can turn on there. You can also look at
config.h and modify some things there. This is optional.
Compilation:
To build Ticker, type:
make
Testing:
To try out the program before installing it, type:
make test
Installation:
To install Ticker, become root and type:
make install
See README for more documentation.
