Fix bug #29: analyse_quotes() shadows the linecnt global variable for no good reason
4 General installation instructions can be found in INSTALL. The following
5 aim to give a quick overview and some help for specific systems. Documentation
6 for bookloupe itself can be found in doc/bookloupe.txt and for the test
7 framework in doc/loupe-test.txt.
12 You should be able to use the standard:
18 If you get an error about no package 'glib-2.0' found, then you need to
19 install the development package for glib2. Under Fedora, RHEL and friends
22 % sudo yum install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
24 Under Debian, Ubuntu and friends that would be:
26 % sudo apt-get install gcc pkgconfig glib2-devel
31 It should be possible to use either MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS)
32 or cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) to build on a Windows machine. You'll
33 need a copy of the development package for glib and its dependencies
34 from http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php.
36 It's much easier to build using a cross-compiler from Linux, if you have
37 access to such a system. Under Fedora, RHEL and friends you can do this
40 % sudo yum install mingw32-gcc pkgconfig mingw32-glib2-static \
41 mingw32-gettext-static mingw32-iconv-static
42 % ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --disable-shared \
43 --bindir=/bookloupe --datadir=/
46 % make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/build
48 The contents of the build/bookloupe directory can then be copied to a
49 Microsoft Windows machine.
51 Depending on the version of mingw32-gcc you use, you may need to specify a
52 different host type. If you're not sure look and see what the cross-compiler
53 is called (eg., i686-pc-mingw32-gcc) and use the prefix as the host type.
58 You will need the command line tools for any of the procedures described
59 below. If you don't already have them, install Xcode (it's a free download).
61 The simplest and least intrusive means to build on a Mac is to use Frau Sma's
62 Homebrew formula. However, Homebrew is not compatible with Fink so if you
63 have previously used Fink then you need an alternative solution, such as
66 It may also be possible to use Fink itself.

73 The README will be displayed by default. Follow its instructions to
74 install bookloupe on your Mac.
76 Creating statically linked binaries on a Mac using Homebrew
77 -----------------------------------------------------------
79 If you want to be able to distribute binaries of bookloupe to other Mac
80 users, then they need to be statically (rather than dynamically) linked.
81 Fundamentally this means that glib and its dependencies are included in
82 the binary rather than being linked into the program by the Operating
83 System each time it is run.

87 Install Homebrew according to its instructions. If you already had Homebrew
88 before, make sure it's all up to date and “raring to brew.” For that, you
97 from your terminal. Then you need to edit the formula for glib and each of its
98 dependencies (gettext and libffi at the time of writing) using something like:
102 Each time find the args statement which includes --prefix and insert
103 --disable-shared,for example change:
105 args = ["--disable-dependency-tracking", "--disable-rebuilds",
106 "--prefix=#{prefix}",
111 args = ["--disable-dependency-tracking", "--disable-rebuilds",
113 "--prefix=#{prefix}",
120 before installing bookloupe as normal, but with the extra flag to configure:
122 $ ./configure --disable-shared
126 Note that if you have previously used dynamic linking this may not work.
127 (Homebrew doesn't seem to create .la files in a form that libtool can use
128 when it is asked to prefer static libraries to dynamic ones.) Removing the
129 dynamic libraries first will solve this problem.
134 Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/.
136 Install pkgconfig (required to build glib) and then glib itself:
138 $ sudo port install pkgconfig
139 $ sudo port install glib2
141 Then install bookloupe as normal, telling configure where to find glib's
142 package configuration file:
144 $ ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig
