  • melt .tar.gz file
  • run 'configure'
  • make

Step 1: Melt .tar.gz file

Packages of sentry are distributed by Gziped tar file. Most UNIX systems support them. You should install GNU tar and gzip when your system does not support that.

When you system tar command supports gziped file.

% tar ztvf sentry-orange-XXX.tar.gz # check contents % tar zxvf sentry-orange-XXX.tar.gz

When you system tar command does not supports gziped file.

% gzip -d -c sentry-orange-XXX.tar.gz |tar tvf - # check contents % gzip -d -c sentry-orange-XXX.tar.gz |tar xvf -

Step 2: Run 'configure'

Sentry 'orange' includes configuration script 'configure' in its package. If the package your have does not include that, you have to make 'Makefile' in manual.

Basically, you will get configured file for porting (e.g., 'config.h' and 'Makefile') by run 'configure'.

% cd {source directory} % ./configure

In some systems, JPEG related files locate into unexpected location. In that case, you have to specify these path to configure.

% ./configure --with-jpeg-inc=/usr/local/include --with-jpeg-lib=/usr/local/lib

Of course, our configure supports GNU style options (e.g., '--prefix'). You can see these options by running with '--help'.

% ./configure --help

Step 3: Make
