Source Distribution

Follow these steps in order to install the Tipograf source distribution:

  1. Download the tarball tipograf-XXX.tar.gz from www.falk-henrich.de.
  2. Unzip the tarball:
    tar xzvf tipograf-XXX.tar.gz
  3. Cd into the distribution directory:
    cd tipograf-XXX
  4. Configure the source code.
    ./configure
    With no options the distribution will be installed under the /usr/local branch. If you prefer another installation path you can use the --prefix option of the configure script like this:
    ./configure --prefix=/my/preferred/installation/path
    If configure complains about missing Qt library files use one of the following commands to tell configure where to find Qt:
    ./configure --with-qt-inc=DIR --with-qt-lib=DIR --with-qt-bin=DIR
    ./configure --with-qt-dir=DIR
    Replace DIR with the Qt installation path(s).
  5. Compile the source. Because of the structure of the Makefile you definitely need GNU Make. Other makes will not work. Type:
    make
  6. Install the generated binaries and help files.
    make install
