Installing Edacious

Prerequisites

Edacious requires only the Agar library. You can download it from the Libagar Website.

Installation under Unix

  1. Execute the configure script. See `./configure --help' for options. $ ./configure

  2. Compile the libraries and executables. $ make depend all

    make install

  3. Let the developers know of your success/failure. If you happen to run into trouble, please set a valid return address so we can respond. $ cat config.log | mail -s "compiles fine" [email protected]

Installation under SGI IRIX

Under IRIX, we recommend using gcc3 (or SGI cc) because of gcc 2.95 issues with varargs. There are .tardist packages for gcc3, SDL and freetype available from Nekochan.

Installation under Windows

Under Windows, Edacious can be compiled under Microsoft Visual Studio, Cygwin and MSYS. Precompiled packages may be available from the Edacious download page.

Concurrent building

It is possible to build Edacious outside of the source directory. Developers may prefer this method, since it results in a faster build and cleaner source directory.

  1. Create the build directory. If available, a memory filesystem is a good location to build from. $ mkdir w-edacious $ cd w-edacious

  2. If configure was already executed from the source directory, make sure to clean it up or the build will fail: $ (cd $HOME/src/edacious && make cleandir)

  3. Run configure from the source directory with --srcdir. $ $HOME/src/edacious/configure --srcdir=$HOME/src/edacious [...]

  4. Now build the libraries and executables as you normally would. $ make depend $ make

    make install
