Unpack the archive if you have not done so already: + + lzip -cd ed[version].tar.lz | tar -xf - +or + gzip -cd ed[version].tar.gz | tar -xf - + +This creates the directory ./ed[version] containing the source from +the main archive. + +2. Change to ed directory and run configure. + (Try `configure --help' for usage instructions). + + cd ed[version] + ./configure + +3. Run make. + + make + +4. Optionally, type `make check' to run the tests that come with ed. + +5. Type `make install' to install the program and any data files and + documentation. + + +Another way +----------- +You can also compile ed into a separate directory. To do this, you +must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH' variable, such +as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory where you want the object files +and executables to go and run the `configure' script. `configure' +automatically checks for the source code in `.', in `..' and in the +directory that `configure' is in. + +`configure' recognizes the option `--srcdir=DIR' to control where to +look for the sources. Usually `configure' can determine that directory +automatically. + +After running `configure', you can run `make' and `make install' as +explained above. + + +Copyright (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 +Antonio Diaz Diaz. + +This file is free documentation: you have unlimited permission to copy, +distribute and modify it. |
