INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
Configuration and installation of top is easy. Top version 3.6
|
|
comes with a configure script generated by gnu autoconf. After
|
|
unpacking the tar file, simply run "./configure". The script will
|
|
automatically perform a series of checks on the system and determine
|
|
what settings are appropriate for the Makefile and certain include
|
|
files. Once configure completes, simply type "make install" and
|
|
top will be compiled and installed. By default, the installation
|
|
location is /usr/local/bin. You can change the destination location
|
|
with the --prefix option to configure.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the standard options, top's configure script supports
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
--with-module=name
|
|
|
|
Force the use of a particular module. Modules are located
|
|
in the subdirectory "machine". A module's name is derived
|
|
from the file's basename without the leading "m_".
|
|
|
|
--with-ext=name
|
|
|
|
Compile with the extension "name", found in the subdirectory
|
|
"ext". At the present time, there are no extensions in the
|
|
standard distribution.
|
|
|
|
--enable-debug
|
|
--disable-debug
|
|
|
|
Default off. Include debugging output in the compilation,
|
|
which can be seen with the -D switch.
|
|
|
|
--enable-color
|
|
--disable-color
|
|
|
|
Default on. Include code that allows for the use of color
|
|
in the output display. Use --disable-color if you do not
|
|
want this feature compiled in to the code. The configure
|
|
script also recognizes the spelling "colour".
|
|
|
|
--enable-kill
|
|
--disable-kill
|
|
|
|
Default on. Include code that allows for renicing and sending
|
|
signals to processes from within top (the 'kill' and 'renice'
|
|
commands). Use --disable-kill if you do not want this feature
|
|
compiled in to the code.
