Installation Instructions
*************************
This file contains some useful details on the installation from source code
for GRAMPS. It does not cover installation of a pre-built binary package.
For that use your package manager, the rest is already done by the packager.

configure vs autogen scripts
----------------------------
If you are building from released tarball, you should be able to just
run "./configure && make". However, if you're building from the SVN,
the configure is not present. You should auto-generate it by
running ./autogen.sh and then "make" and, finally, "make install".
Basic Installation
==================
Running ./autogen.sh on this branch of gramps requires the following
packages to be installed:
* automake-1.9
* gnome-common
* intltool
* libglib2.0-dev (may be called differently on other distros) and
maybe something else. If autogen.sh fails, it should inform you what's
missing.
These are generic installation instructions.
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
debugging `configure').
Regular vs local installation
-----------------------------
This version of gramps requires, among others, the two things to be done:
gconf schemas and mime types for gramps MUST be properly installed.
The usual ./configure, make, and make install as a root should do the trick.
But be careful if you're using the non-default options or would like
to install without being root.
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
cache files.)
The latter is possible, but you should supply additional arguments to
autogen or configure:
--with-gconf-source=xml::$HOME/.gconf
--with-gconf-schema-file-dir=$HOME
--with-mime-dir=$HOME/.local/share/mime
Most likely, such local install will also need some prefix with write
permissions for you:
--prefix=$HOME/my_gramps_path
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
may remove or edit it.
Whether you're doing local install or regular install,
YOU MUST INSTALL GCONF SCHEMAS AND MIME TYPES.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
a newer version of `autoconf'.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
Installing under non-default prefix
-----------------------------------
As hinted above, the gconf schemas and mime types for gramps
MUST be properly installed. The "proper install" means installing
them where gconfd and shared mime system, respectively, will
find them.
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
By default, gconfd will look in these places:
1. Whatever is returned by running:
$ gconftool-2 --get-default-source
2. The xml::$HOME/.gconf : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
or xml:merged:$HOME/.gconf : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
There is a number of ways to let gconfd know where else
to look, but this is outside the scope of installing gramps.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
By default, the shared mime systems will look in these places:
1. /usr/share/mime
2. /usr/local/share/mime : this may be broken on some systems
3. $HOME/.local/share/mime : this is a per-user setup, not system-wide
Likewise, there's a number of ways to instruct the shared mime system
to look in other places, but this is the whole other story.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
So if you install some place other than /usr/share, you will most
likely need to add this option to autogen.sh/configure scripts:
--with-mime-dir=/usr/share/mime
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
the package.
Using the --prefix=/usr/share and installing as a root will most
likely do everything correctly, so no extra care needs to be
taken. You should take extra care only if you are installing under
something like --prefix=/usr/local/my_gramps, /var/gramps123/blah, etc.
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
with the distribution.
Packager's issues
------------------
The above mentioned gconf schemas and mime types must be installed.
However, the update-mime-database and the gconftool-2 calls to process
the newly installed types and schemas must be done in POST-INSTALLATION.
In packager's world, the install happens on packager's machine
into something like /tmp/gramps-tmp. However, the postinstall
should happen on the user's machine.
Compilers and Options
=====================
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
`configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for
details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
is an example:
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own 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 the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
for another architecture.
Installation Names
==================
By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You
can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses
PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
Optional Features
=================
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
package recognizes.
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
Specifying the System Type
==========================
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
OS KERNEL-OS
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the machine type.
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
produce code for.
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
Sharing Defaults
================
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
Defining Variables
==================
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
overridden in the site shell script). Here is a another example:
/bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
Here the `CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash' operand causes subsequent
configuration-related scripts to be executed by `/bin/bash'.
`configure' Invocation
======================
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
`--help'
`-h'
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
`--version'
`-V'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
script, and exit.
`--cache-file=FILE'
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
disable caching.
`--config-cache'
`-C'
Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).
`--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
`configure --help' for more details.
To assist with that, there's an argument available in configure
(or autogen, which will pass it to configure) which disables
the gconf schema and mime type processing:
--enable-packager-mode
This argument should disable postinstall calls made during
make install, and print a nasty warning during configure.
IT IS PACKAGER'S RESPONSIBILITY to follow the advice given
by the configure output and to copy the appropriate code
from the src/data/Makefile.am into the post-install (and post-uninstall)
of the particular packaging system.
