-Basic Installation
-==================
-
- These are installation instructions for GNU enscript. The top of
- this file describes how to compile and install the software; at the
- bottom are instructions for configuring enscript.
-
- The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
-various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
-those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
-It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
-definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
-you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
-`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
-reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
-(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
-
- If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
-to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
-diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
-be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
-contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
-
- The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
-called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
-it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
-
-The simplest way to compile this package is:
-
- 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
- `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
- using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
- `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
- `configure' itself.
-
- Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
- messages telling which features it is checking for.
-
- 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
-
- 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
- the package.
-
- 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
- documentation.
-
- 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
- source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
- files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
- a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
- also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
- for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
- all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
- with the distribution.
-
-Compilers and Options
-=====================
-
- Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
-the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
-initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
-a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
-this:
- CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
-
-Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
- env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
-
-Compiling For Multiple Architectures
-====================================
-
- You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
-same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
-own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
-supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
-directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
-the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
-source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
-
- If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
-variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
-in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
-one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
-architecture.
-
-Installation Names
-==================
-
- By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
-`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
-installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
-option `--prefix=PATH'.
-
- You can specify separate installation prefixes for
-architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
-give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
-PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
-Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
-
- In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
-options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
-kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
-you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
-
- If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
-with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
-option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
-
-Optional Features
-=================
-
- Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
-`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
-They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
-is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
-`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
-package recognizes.
-
- For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
-find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
-you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
-`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
-
-Specifying the System Type
-==========================
-
- There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
-automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
-will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
-a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
-`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
-type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
- CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
-
-See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
-`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
-need to know the host type.
-
- If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
-use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
-produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
-system on which you are compiling the package.
-
-Sharing Defaults
-================
-
- If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
-you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
-default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
-`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
-`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
-`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
-A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
-
-Operation Controls
-==================
-
- `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
-operates.
-
-`--cache-file=FILE'
- Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
- `./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
- debugging `configure'.
-
-`--help'
- Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
-
-`--quiet'
-`--silent'
-`-q'
- Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
-
-`--srcdir=DIR'
- Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
- `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
-
-`--version'
- Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
- script, and exit.
-
-`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
-
-
-Configuring Enscript to Your System
-===================================
-
-There are some options in enscript you might want to modify to meet
-your system's needs. You can change them all after the compilation by
-editing the global configuration file `enscript.cfg' at the directory
-`PREFIX/etc/'. You can also change some of the during the `configure'
-step by giving the configure script appropriate options. Please,
-check the following things before reporting bugs; for the most cases
-these help:
-
-* Paper size
-
- As a default enscript uses A4 paper. To change default paper to be
- for example `Letter', edit following line in the config file:
-
- # Default output media.
- DefaultMedia: A4
-
- => DefaultMedia: Letter
-
- You can also select the default paper size during the configuration
- by giving the configure script option --with-media=MEDIA, where
- media is one of the media listed in the `lib/enscript.cfg.in' file:
- A3, A4, A5, Legal, Letter, A4dj or Letterdj.
-
-* Default output device
-
- As a default (without any explicit options) enscript spools its
- output to the printer. If you want to send outputs to stdout, edit
- following line:
-
- # Where output goes as a default.
- DefaultOutputMethod: printer
-
- => DefaultOutputMethod: stdout
-
-* Printer command
-
- Enscript's default printer command is `lpr'. To change it to be for
- example `lp', edit following line:
-
- # Printer spooler command name.
- Spooler: lpr
-
- => Spooler: lp
-
- You can also set the spooler command during the configuration by
- giving the configure script option `--with-spooler=SPOOLER'.
-
- On SystemV machines, you might also want to change the printer queue
- name switch from `-P' to `-d':
-
- # The spooler command switch to select the printer queue.
- QueueParam: -P
-
- => QueueParam: -d
-
-* PostScript language level
-
- The PostScript language level that enscript uses for its output.
- The default values is 2 (PostScript 2). If your printer supports
- only level 1 PostScript, you can set it to default by giving the
- configure script option `--with-ps-level=1'. You can also set the
- level by editing the enscript.cfg file:
-
- # The PostScript language level that enscript should use.
- PostScriptLevel: 2
-
- => PostScriptLevel: 1
-
- Or, you can select it at the print time with the `--ps-level=LEVEL'
- option:
-
- $ enscript --ps-level=1 ...
$ ./configure --with-media=Letter
