1. I am installing your library on Solaris 10 x86 AMD64
2. I will test with both with GCC and Sun Studio 12
3. Your docs says, "... do the usually to compile ..."
# ./configure
# make
# make test "You support a test with a quick benchmark, right?"
# make install
4. My problem is, there isn't enough docs for me to install this on Solaris.
Just a few questions ...
1. Do I have to install "libtools" to successfully install?
2, Based on the docs, I think I have to use "Autoconfig" or something? Am I on the right track?
I know, these are basic questions, but I am still trying to get up-to-speed. Any help is much appreciated. Like, just give me the steps you would do on a Linux box, and I will adapt to Solaris.
Thanks,
Bill
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1. Yes you have to install GNU "libtools" cause libPGF will be build as a library. "libtool" (see: http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/\) supports this process by hiding the complex process of building shared libs.
2. And yes, you need the Autoconf, Automake tools also from GNU tools.
After installing them for Solaris, you should be able to build libPGF by these three steps:
1: ./configure
2: make
3: make install
I can not remember which tests we included, but I will take a look at this point and answer you later.
By the way: In a few days, we will release a new version of libPGF. Further details later.

Andy

As promised I took a look at how we provided our source code. As said we use GNU Autoconf, GNU Automake and GNU Libtool from the GNU Build System. There are several different config scripts one can provide for the GNU build system. We provide the shell-script "autogen.sh" which should be run. As a result this script will create the "configure" script. After running that script(./configure) and everything went fine there should be a Makefile. Now you can run "make" and "make install". The library now should be installed and you can build "pgfconsole" the same way.
Hope this helps
