4 In order to be able to parse the XML config file, you will
5 need to have installed the "expat" library, which can be downloaded
6 from http://expat.sourceforge.net/expat/. It is available as an
7 RPM from RedHat, and I believe is part of their standard installation
8 starting in redhat-7.0. (You'll want both "expat" and "expat-devel"
9 rpms.)
10
11 The "timbersee" package also depends on several perl modules,
12 some of which you most likely don't have installed. The list of
13 prerequired modules can be found in docs/Bundle/Timbersee.pm,
14 and can be downloaded manually from http://www.cpan.org/. An
15 easier way to install them is to use the CPAN module, as in:
16 # perl -MCPAN -e shell
17 cpan> ! use lib qw( docs );
18 cpan> install Bundle::Timbersee
19 cpan> quit
20 I've been playing with this on an old redhat-6.2 machine, and
21 it looks like some of the prerequisites require perl-5.6
22 (or at least later than the perl that comes with redhat-6.2).
23 Also, I sometimes have to run "install Bundle::Timbersee"
24 multiple times to get it to take; if you have suggestions
25 for how to reorder the dependencies, please let me know.
26
27
28 The location of the configuration file (timbersee.config) can be
29 controlled by configure's "--sysconfdir=DIR" option.
30
31 The actual installation of "timbersee" itself follows the normal
32 GNU paradigms...

35 Basic Installation
36 ==================
37
38 These are generic installation instructions.
39
40 The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
41 various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
42 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
43 It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
44 definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
45 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
46 `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
47 reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
48 (useful mainly for debugging `configure').
49
50 If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
51 to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
52 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
53 be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
54 contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
55
56 The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
57 called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
58 it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
59
60 The simplest way to compile this package is:
61
62 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
63 `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
64 using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
65 `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
66 `configure' itself.
67
68 Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
69 messages telling which features it is checking for.
70
71 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
72
73 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
74 the package.
75
76 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
77 documentation.
78
79 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
80 source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
81 files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
82 a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
83 also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
84 for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
85 all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
86 with the distribution.
87
88 Compilers and Options
89 =====================
90
91 Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
92 the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
93 initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
94 a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
95 this:
96 CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
97
98 Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
99 env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
100
101 Compiling For Multiple Architectures
102 ====================================
103
104 You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
105 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
106 own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
107 supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
108 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
109 the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
110 source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
111
112 If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
113 variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
114 in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
115 one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
116 architecture.
117
118 Installation Names
119 ==================
120
121 By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
122 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
123 installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
124 option `--prefix=PATH'.
125
126 You can specify separate installation prefixes for
127 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
128 give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
129 PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
130 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
131
132 In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
133 options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
134 kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
135 you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
136
137 If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
138 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
139 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
140
141 Optional Features
142 =================
143
144 Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
145 `configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
146 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
147 is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
148 `README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
149 package recognizes.
150
151 For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
152 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
153 you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
154 `--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
155
156 Specifying the System Type
157 ==========================
158
159 There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
160 automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
161 will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
162 a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
163 `--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
164 type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
165 CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
166
167 See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
168 `config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
169 need to know the host type.
170
171 If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
172 use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
173 produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
174 system on which you are compiling the package.
175
176 Sharing Defaults
177 ================
178
179 If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
180 you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
181 default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
182 `configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
183 `PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
184 `CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
185 A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
186
187 Operation Controls
188 ==================
189
190 `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
191 operates.
192
193 `--cache-file=FILE'
194 Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
195 `./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
196 debugging `configure'.
197
198 `--help'
199 Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
200
201 `--quiet'
202 `--silent'
203 `-q'
204 Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
205
206 `--srcdir=DIR'
207 Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
208 `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
209
210 `--version'
211 Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
212 script, and exit.
213
214 `configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
