Source Distribution
Follow these steps in order to install the Tipograf source
distribution:
- Download the tarball
tipograf-XXX.tar.gz
from
www.falk-henrich.de
.
- Unzip the tarball:
tar xzvf tipograf-XXX.tar.gz
- Cd into the distribution directory:
cd tipograf-XXX
- 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).
- Compile the source. Because of the structure of the Makefile you
definitely need GNU Make. Other makes will not work. Type:
make
- Install the generated binaries and help files.
make install
