3764c0c0 | 2 | Building and Installing Quagga from releases or snapshots: |
9104f569 | 3 | |
4 | The 'INSTALL' file contains generic instructions on how to use 'configure' | |
5 | scripts. | |

7 | Quagga requires a C compiler (and associated header files and |
8 | libraries) supporting the C99 standard. | |
3764c0c0 | 9 | |
e0170882 | 10 | Quagga requires a reasonable make. It is considered a bug if quagga |
11 | does not compile with the system make on recent FreeBSD, NetBSD or | |
12 | OpenBSD, and a very serious bug if it does not compile with GNU make. | |
13 | ||
14 | Quagga expects a POSIX.2 compliant system, more or less. Clean | |
15 | workarounds for POSIX non-compliance are welcome. | |
16 | ||
17 | It is considered a bug if Quagga fails to build and run on any of the | |
18 | following systems (where .x indicates the most recent release), or | |
19 | such systems "-current" versions. (Note that considering it a bug is | |
20 | not a guarantee of support, merely "we agree that it is broken".) | |

e0170882 | 37 | For further Quagga specific information on 'configure' and build-time |
38 | configuration of the software, please read the Quagga info | |
39 | documentation, (doc/quagga.info). To read the info page included with | |
40 | the Quagga sources without first installing Quagga: | |
41 | ||
42 | cd doc | |
43 | # one of the following, depending on your info viewer preferences | |
44 | info quagga.info | |
45 | pinfo -r quagga.info | |
46 | emacs -eval '(info "quagga.info")' | |
9104f569 | 47 | |
e0170882 | 48 | The Quagga website (http://www.quagga.net) currently has the info |
49 | files available in various formats. | |

52 | Building Quagga from CVS checkouts: | |
53 | ||
54 | In order to build from CVS, you will need recent versions of several GNU | |
7cad4000 | 55 | tools, particularly autoconf, automake, libtool, GNU awk and texinfo. Note |
56 | that the CVS snapshots on the Quagga website should not require these tools; | |
57 | everything is already setup ready to run 'configure'. If you have trouble | |
58 | building from CVS checkout it is recommended that you try a CVS snapshot | |
59 | instead. | |

61 | We declare that the following versions should work for building from |
62 | CVS checkouts. Earlier versions may work, but failure to do so is not | |
63 | a bug. Required versions can be moved earlier if no problems, or | |
64 | later after a judgement that a system without a higher version is | |
65 | deficient is made. | |
9104f569 | 66 | |
9f0a19f5 GT |
67 | automake: 1.9.6 (released 2005-07-10) |
68 | autoconf: 2.59 (2.60 on 2006-06-26 is too recent to require) | |
69 | libtool: 1.5.22 (released 2005-12-18) | |
70 | texinfo: 4.7 (released 2004-04-10; 4.8 is not yet common) | |
71 | GNU AWK: 3.1.5 (released 2005-08-12) | |
3764c0c0 | 72 | |
e0170882 | 73 | Becuase some systems provide texinfo 4.6 (4.7 is new), quagga.info is |
74 | checked in so that texinfo will generally not be invoked. When | |
75 | texinfo 4.7 is widespread, quagga.info will be removed from CVS and | |
76 | texinfo will become required again. (4.7 has figure support, needed | |
77 | for the route server docs, which is why 4.6 doesn't work.) | |
38c2cfee | 78 | |
3849db25 | 79 | In order to create PostScript or PDF versions of the Texinfo documentation, |
80 | you will need the convert utility, from the ImageMagick toolset installed, | |
81 | and epstopdf from the TeTeX suite. | |
82 | ||
3764c0c0 | 83 | To create the required autotools files (Makefile.in, configure, etc.), |
9f0a19f5 GT |
84 | run "./bootstrap.sh". After this you may run configure as for a |
85 | snapshot or release. | |
9104f569 | 86 | |
87 | Please refer to "Building and Installing Quagga" above for further | |
88 | instructions. | |

91 | Notes on required versions: | |
92 | ||
93 | The general goal is to use a modern baseline of tools, while not | |
94 | imposing pain on those tracking stable distributions. The notes below | |
95 | explain what versions are present in various environments. | |
96 | ||
9f0a19f5 GT |
97 | NetBSD 1.6 and 2 provide texinfo 4.6. This is now considered old. |
98 | NetBSD 3 and 4 provide texinfo 4.7. | |
99 | ||
100 | Fedora Core ? provides autoconf 2.59. | |
38c2cfee | 101 | |
9c3f5e6b | 102 | OpenBSD 3.6 provides texinfo 4.2. |
103 | OpenBSD [3.6] ports provides automake 1.4-p6 autoconf 2.5.9 libtool 1.5.8 | |
