-
Uncompress and explode the package in your
system with the command 'tar xvfz <package_name>'. This will create a directory containing Yed source code. Enter into this directory.
-
Run 'configure'
script to automatically generate building and installing files. The script
accepts input parameters that set library type ( shared or static ), base
directories of installation ('prefix'
and 'exec_prefix'), and other.
Run the script with '--help'
option to read all available options without starting installation phases.
The script 'configure' tests
the existence of GNU tools 'gcc','ld','ar'
in the target system; without these programs, Yed installation
will be aborted.
-
Run 'make'
command without input parameters. The output will be static od shared Yed
library, according to the user choice at 'configure'
level ( see previous step ).
-
Run 'make install'.
This will install Yed library and header files like this:
- The built Yed library, with Yed
version in library name, will be copied in $exec_prefix/lib
path.
- The symbolic link, having Yed library
name without Yed version, will be created in the same
path.
- The header files needed to properly use Yed
objects will be copied in $prefix/include/libyed
path.
-
Now, Yed package is compiled and installed
in your system!! You can now easily link it in your applications.
