INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPILE AND INSTALL NANO GIT VERSIONS
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
The latest version of GNU nano is available via git, but building this needs
|
|
a bit more care than the official stable and unstable tarballs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To successfully compile GNU nano from the git repo, you'll need the following
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
- autoconf (version >= 2.61)
|
|
- automake (version >= 1.7)
|
|
- gettext (version >= 0.11.5)
|
|
- git (version >= 2.7.4)
|
|
- groff (version >= 1.12)
|
|
- pkg-config (version >= 0.22)
|
|
- texinfo (version >= 4.0)
|
|
- glib 2.x (in case your system doesn't have vsnprintf(), which the
|
|
configure script will check for)
|
|
- make, gcc, and
|
|
- the normal development libraries (curses or slang, etc.)
|
|
|
|
These should all be available in your distro's package manager or software
|
|
center, or otherwise on any GNU mirror. Note that you'll need a version of
|
|
curses or slang with wide character support if you want nano to use UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download the source
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
To obtain the current nano development code (called 'master', or sometimes
|
|
'trunk'), use the following command. It will create a copy of the files in
|
|
a subdirectory of your current working directory called 'nano':
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/nano.git nano
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generate the configure script
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Once you have the sources in the "nano" directory,
|
|
|
|
$ cd nano
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
This will set up a configure script and a Makefile.in file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure your build
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
To configure your build, run the configure script from the nano source
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure [--add-options-here]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build and install
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
From the nano source directory, build the code with:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Then, once it's done compiling, run:
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
which should copy various files (i.e. the nano executable, the info and
|
|
man pages, and syntax highlighting pattern files) to their appropriate
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
If you're installing into the default install directory (/usr/local),
|
|
you'll need to run that "make install" command with root privileges.
