COMPATIBILITY This code is intended for use with Linux 2.2.xx, 2.4.xx, 2.6.xx, and hopefully all future kernels. You should be running a system with libc 6, but libc 5 might work too. INSTALLATION make make install Only the second ("make install") is needed if you just want to build and install procps in the normal way. If you wish to test before installing, use the scripts named t, v, and p to ensure that the correct libproc (the new one) is used during your testing. You may set SKIP to avoid building or installing things. For example: make SKIP='/bin/kill /usr/share/man/man1/kill.1' install Use SHARED=0 to build procps without shared libraries. This may be useful for installing in your home directory. make SHARED=0 DESTDIR=$HOME install Suppose you wanted to install stuff in strange places. You might do something like this: make usr/bin=/tmp/Q/iii/ DESTDIR=/tmp/Q install="install -D" ldconfig=echo install If cross-compiling, you might need to set lib64 to either "lib" or "lib64", like one of these examples: make lib64=lib CFLAGS="-O2 -m32" make lib64=lib64 CC=x86_64-gcc BUG REPORTS Debian users should use the Debian bug tracking system. Email to albert@users.sf.net or csmall@debian.org or procps-feedback@lists.sf.net will also work.
