This is not a very rigorous - test, but it at least ensures sanity for the core tools. - If all goes well and you want to start using it, reconfigure to install - in a normal place, e.g., - - # put things in /usr/local/{bin,lib,info} (the default) - ./configure; make install - -or- - # put things in /usr/{bin,lib,info} - ./configure --prefix /usr; make install - - If you have the time, patience and software, please build using both your - vendor-supplied compiler and gcc.

You can override this by doing this: - - make distclean - CC=vendor-supplied-cc ./configure # bourne-shell syntax - -or- - setenv CC vendor-supplied-cc; ./configure # csh syntax - - -* If you run into build problems, please help by emailing me the following: - * A brilliant, elegant patch to fix it. ;-) - -- or, if you don't have time for that... -- - * The version of mkid you're trying to build - (type ./mkid to get the usage banner which includes the version) - * The output of "make -k all", to show me where it's dying. - * The output of "uname -a" - * The output of "nm" on your system's libc, if applicable. - -* Be aware that this is still work in progress.
