0001 :zap: **These installation instructions are outdated and require a
0002 refresh**. Nowadays kturtle uses `CMake` as its build system, whereas
0003 the instructions on the doc refer to the old `autotools` build system.
0004 
0005 ## Basic Installation
0006 
0007    These are generic installation instructions to install kturtle from
0008 source. They are intended for developers only, as most users will want
0009 to install it from the packages available for their OS.
0010 
0011    The `configure` shell script attempts to guess correct values for
0012 various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
0013 those values to create a `Makefile` in each directory of the package.
0014 It may also create one or more `.h` files containing system-dependent
0015 definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status` that
0016 you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
0017 `config.cache` that saves the results of its tests to speed up
0018 reconfiguring, and a file `config.log` containing compiler output
0019 (useful mainly for debugging `configure`).
0020 
0021    If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
0022 to figure out how `configure` could check whether to do them, and mail
0023 diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README` so they can
0024 be considered for the next release.  If at some point `config.cache`
0025 contains results you don`t want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
0026 
0027    The file `configure.in` is used to create `configure` by a program
0028 called `autoconf`.  You only need `configure.in` if you want to change
0029 it or regenerate `configure` using a newer version of `autoconf`.
0030 
0031 The simplest way to compile this package is:
0032 
0033   1. `cd` to the directory containing the package`s source code and type
0034      `./configure` to configure the package for your system.  If you`re
0035      using `csh` on an old version of System V, you might need to type
0036      `sh ./configure` instead to prevent `csh` from trying to execute
0037      `configure` itself.
0038 
0039      Running `configure` takes a while.  While running, it prints some
0040      messages telling which features it is checking for.
0041 
0042   2. Type `make` to compile the package.
0043 
0044   3. Type `make install` to install the programs and any data files and
0045      documentation.
0046 
0047   4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
0048      source code directory by typing `make clean`.  
0049 
0050 ## Compilers and Options
0051 
0052    Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
0053 the `configure` script does not know about.  You can give `configure`
0054 initial values for variables by setting them in the environment.  Using
0055 a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
0056 this:
0057 
0058      CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
0059 
0060 Or on systems that have the `env` program, you can do it like this:
0061      env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
0062 
0063 ## Compiling For Multiple Architectures
0064 
0065    You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
0066 same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
0067 own directory.  To do this, you must use a version of `make` that
0068 supports the `VPATH` variable, such as GNU `make`.  `cd` to the
0069 directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
0070 the `configure` script.  `configure` automatically checks for the
0071 source code in the directory that `configure` is in and in `..`.
0072 
0073    If you have to use a `make` that does not supports the `VPATH`
0074 variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
0075 in the source code directory.  After you have installed the package for
0076 one architecture, use `make distclean` before reconfiguring for another
0077 architecture.
0078 
0079 ## Installation Names
0080 
0081    By default, `make install` will install the package`s files in
0082 `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/local/man`, etc.  You can specify an
0083 installation prefix other than `/usr/local` by giving `configure` the
0084 option `--prefix=PATH`.
0085 
0086    You can specify separate installation prefixes for
0087 architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
0088 give `configure` the option `--exec-prefix=PATH`, the package will use
0089 PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
0090 Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
0091 
0092    If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
0093 with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure` the
0094 option `--program-prefix=PREFIX` or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX`.
0095 
0096 ## Optional Features
0097 
0098    Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE` options to
0099 `configure`, where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
0100 They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE` options, where PACKAGE
0101 is something like `gnu-as` or `x` (for the X Window System).  The
0102 `README` should mention any `--enable-` and `--with-` options that the
0103 package recognizes.
0104 
0105    For packages that use the X Window System, `configure` can usually
0106 find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn`t,
0107 you can use the `configure` options `--x-includes=DIR` and
0108 `--x-libraries=DIR` to specify their locations.
0109 
0110 ## Specifying the System Type
0111 
0112    There may be some features `configure` can not figure out
0113 automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
0114 will run on.  Usually `configure` can figure that out, but if it prints
0115 a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
0116 `--host=TYPE` option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
0117 type, such as `sun4`, or a canonical name with three fields:
0118 
0119      CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
0120 
0121 See the file `config.sub` for the possible values of each field.  If
0122 `config.sub` isn`t included in this package, then this package doesn`t
0123 need to know the host type.
0124 
0125    If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
0126 use the `--target=TYPE` option to select the type of system they will
0127 produce code for and the `--build=TYPE` option to select the type of
0128 system on which you are compiling the package.
0129 
0130 ## Sharing Defaults
0131 
0132    If you want to set default values for `configure` scripts to share,
0133 you can create a site shell script called `config.site` that gives
0134 default values for variables like `CC`, `cache_file`, and `prefix`.
0135 `configure` looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site` if it exists, then
0136 `PREFIX/etc/config.site` if it exists.  Or, you can set the
0137 `CONFIG_SITE` environment variable to the location of the site script.
0138 A warning: not all `configure` scripts look for a site script.
0139 
0140 ## Operation Controls
0141 
0142    `configure` recognizes the following options to control how it
0143 operates.
0144 
0145 `--cache-file=FILE`
0146      Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
0147      `./config.cache`.  Set FILE to `/dev/null` to disable caching, for
0148      debugging `configure`.
0149 
0150 `--help`
0151      Print a summary of the options to `configure`, and exit.
0152 
0153 `--quiet`
0154 `--silent`
0155 `-q`
0156      Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
0157 
0158 `--srcdir=DIR`
0159      Look for the package`s source code in directory DIR.  Usually
0160      `configure` can determine that directory automatically.
0161 
0162 `--version`
0163      Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure`
0164      script, and exit.
0165 
0166 `configure` also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
