The new build system uses CMake (http://www.cmake.org). It handles
|
|
all platform differences.
|
|
|
|
Once all prerequisites are in place, you should be able to build teapot via
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In addition to the information in the README.md file on prerequisites, here
|
|
are some additional guidelines:
|
|
|
|
The XDR functions are no longer in the GNU library, so you will need an
|
|
additional package to supply them. The README.md suggests one; another is
|
|
tirpc. This is available on OpenSUSE, for example, via
|
|
zypper install libtirpc-devel.
|
|
|
|
The documentation can only be built if you have latex2html (version
|
|
2008), pdflatex and lyx installed. If you don't, turn off the
|
|
ENABLE_HELP option (using the ccmake command or any other CMake
|
|
frontend).
|
|
|
|
Note that the GUI version definitely needs FLTK-1.3. CMake apparently finds
|
|
a system-installed version of this without difficulty. However, it is not
|
|
entirely clear if static linking, should you prefer it, will work properly
|
|
with the current setup. One possibility is to build FLTK yourself and ensure
|
|
that your own version is found before the system one; that should allow static
|
|
linking.
|
|
|
|
For the console version you will have to make sure your system
|
|
offers a SYSV compatible curses. You can check that you do by looking
|
|
at its include file curses.h; it should e.g. contain KEY_ macros. If you
|
|
have a system which contains BSD and SYSV curses libraries, make sure (by
|
|
checking the cmake variables) that the SYSV curses.h is used. This
|
|
particularly applies if you use the SYSV curses clone ncurses. If you do
|
|
so, further make sure that you use version 4 or higher. Otherwise teapot
|
|
may not work correctly and you get corrupted screen output. Since version
|
|
4 makes it easy to be built as shared (ELF) library, this can reduce the
|
|
size of the teapot binary considerably.
|
|
|
|
If you want the curses frontend to be fully UTF-8 aware, you need
|
|
libncursesw (Debian package name: libncursesw5-dev).
