| --------------------------------- |
| * Platforms Built and Tested On * |
| --------------------------------- |
| Quarterback has been tested on: |
| Linux: Fedora 12 |
| OpenSolaris |
| BSD: FreeBSD |
| MacOSX: Darwin latest update |
| |
| It should build and run properly on the tested platforms as well as possibly |
| others with minimal effort. Quarterback requires a coherent mmap() system call |
| and will not operate on platforms which don't support coherent mmap(). |
| |
| ---------------------------- |
| * Building from git * |
| ---------------------------- |
| When building and installing from subversion, automake 2.61 or later is |
| required. Prior versions will result in build failures. |
| |
| Step 1: check out a copy of the repository |
| git clone git://git.fedoraprojects.org/git/quarterback |
| |
| Find the version you want to build. Usually this will be the "master" |
| branch. If you want to build a specific released |
| version check 'git tag -l'. |
| |
| Step 2: Generate the makefiles |
| balance: ./autogen.sh |
| |
| Step 3: Run the configure script |
| Note that this will install to /usr by default to install to /usr/local use --prefix=/usr/local |
| balance: ./configure |
| |
| Step 4: build |
| balance: make |
| |
| Step 5: Install the binaries |
| balance: sudo make install |
| |
| ------------------------- |
| * Building from tarball * |
| ------------------------- |
| The tarball is distributed with pregenerated makefiles. There is no need |
| to run the autogen.sh script in this case. |
| |
| Step 1: Run the configure script |
| balance:~/quarterback% ./configure |
| |
| Step 2: Install the binaries |
| balance:~/quarterback% su |
| balance:~/quarterback# make install |
| |
| |
