Installation with make

Basically files are installed with "make install". However, there are many options how and where you install the files.

The variables needed by make are defined in files whose names start with "config". By default, make reads file "config". When you set variable "BII_CONFIG" on the command line, you may specify a different configuration file.

Call for a generic installation:

INSTALL_PREFIX=[DIR] make -sj install

Call for an installation at BESSY development hosts or the bessy control system fileserver (HOST is the full qualified hostname e.g. 'stretch.acc.bessy.de'):

BII_CONFIG=config.HOST.acc make -sj install

Installation with install.sh

File "install.sh" is here to make installation even easier.

First you have to make install.sh executable:

chmod u+x install.sh

Then for a generic installation call:

./install.sh [DIR]

At BESSY (HZB) install on our development hosts with this command:

./install.sh
