Installation

  1. Edit Makefile.config

    Makefile.config contains information about where to install the files. All installation procedures allow an additional DESTDIR to be defined, which is inserted before all install paths so make install DESTDIR=/testing will prepend /testing to all install paths.

    You might also want to check Makefile, Makefile.run, and the Makefile.run files in all the subdirectories you will be installing. This part shouldn't give you too much trouble but it never hurts to check first (besides it will give you a good idea of what the Makefiles actually do, which is very little).

  2. make install [DESTDIR=/destdir]

    This will install all of the server, examples, and documentation. By default, this installs the server code in /usr/local/www/server/*, the bookmark demo in /usr/local/www/server/bookmark/*, the walk demo in /usr/local/www/server/walk/*, the documentation in /usr/local/www/server/doc/*, a few miscellaneous tools in /usr/local/www/bin/*, and the bsdi-man utilities in /usr/local/www/bsdi-man/*.
