INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPILE AND INSTALL NANO CVS VERSIONS
-----------------------------------------------------
GNU nano is available from CVS, but building this needs a bit
more care than the official stable and unstable tarballs.
To succesfully compile GNU nano from CVS, you'll need the
following packages:
- autoconf (versions 2.13 or >= 2.50)
- automake (version 1.4-pl4 recommended)
- autoheader
- gettext (version 0.10.40)
- texinfo
- cvs
- make, gcc and the normal development libraries (ncurses, etc)
These should be available on your GNU mirror.
To download the CVS tree, execute the following command:
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nano login
and press enter at the password prompt.
Then, do
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nano checkout src
[FIXME for Savannah] and the nano tree will download.
One you have the sources in the "src" directory, cd into it, and execute
the "autogen.sh" script in the top dir. This will setup a configure script
and Makefile.in, and you will be ready to compile with
$ ./configure [--add-options-here] && make
Once it's done compiling,
$ make install
should put the required files in their respective directories.
Please submit any bugs in the CVS branch to nano-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
[FIXME needs change for Savannah too]
