Building with configure (\*nix including GNU/Linux)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Like most Autotools-based projects, you need to do::
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/where/you/want # defaults to /usr/local
$ make
$ make install # may require extra privileges depending on where to install
After installation the `ctags` executable will be in `$prefix/bin/`.
`autogen.sh` runs `autoreconf` internally.
If you use a (binary oriented) GNU/Linux distribution, `autoreconf` may
be part of the `autoconf` package. In addition you may have to install
`automake` and/or `pkg-config`, too.
Changing the executable's name
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
On some systems, like certain BSDs, there is already a 'ctags' program in the base
system, so it is somewhat inconvenient to have the same name for
Universal-ctags. During the ``configure`` stage you can now change
the name of the created executable.
To add a prefix 'ex' which will result in 'ctags' being renamed to 'exctags':
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./configure --program-prefix=ex
To completely change the program's name run the following:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./configure --program-transform-name='s/ctags/my_ctags/; s/etags/myemacs_tags/'
Please remember there is also an 'etags' installed alongside 'ctags' which you may also want to rename as shown above.
