BUILD, CHECK and INSTALL
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Normally the correct makefile_xxxxx will be picked automatically just typing:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
to discover the current platform and make for Linux, MacOSX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
|
|
NetBSD, Solaris/SunOS and Win32 (MinGW on MSYS). Sometimes the makefile_xxxxx
|
|
must be specified explicitely, e.g. when compiling for the RaspberryPi runnning
|
|
a sub-flavor of Linux and cross-compiled on a desktop system:
|
|
|
|
make -f makefile_raspberrypi
|
|
|
|
Any other makefile_xxxxx can be picked the same way, but always read the
|
|
makefile_xxxxx first, sometimes it contains special instructions!
|
|
|
|
To test the compiled newlisp executable do:
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
or showing only success or failure:
|
|
|
|
make testall
|
|
|
|
From a user account if the sudo command and admin password is available:
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
If root permissions are not available:
|
|
|
|
make install_home
|
|
|
|
home_install does not install the newLISP-GS Java based IDE, but installs
|
|
the supportig documentation.
|
|
|
|
see all flavors and platforms available for install:
|
|
|
|
make help
|
|
|
|
will list all available platforms and flavors, newLISP can also be made as
|
|
a shared, dhynamic library: newlisp.so, newlisp.dylib or newlisp.dll
|
|
|
|
To discover the platform in an extra step do:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
this discovers the platform and generates a makefile_build which
|
|
is used subsequently by make. As an alternative use:
|
|
|
|
./configure-alt
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
this does a more elaborate analysys of options supported on a specific
|
|
platform and custom makes a makefile_build.
|
|
|
|
See the files doc/INSTALL, doc/LOCALIZATION and doc/FILES for more
|
|
detailed information.
|
|
|
|
MINIMUM INSTALL
|
|
---------------
|
|
Note that for a minumum install only the executable newlisp or newlisp.exe
|
|
in Win32 is necessary.
|
|
|
|
On Mac OS X or other UNIX copy newlisp to /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin or ~/bin
|
|
and give it executable permissions.
