GenIS (Gen Install System) is a set of shell scripts that I created for installing and uninstalling libraries in MinGW/MSYS. It is now being ported over to the Python language and designed to be installed onto systems. Formerly GenIndex.

  • Available in the tarball archive

Licenses:

  • MIT/X11

Notes:

  • Instructions (older shell-script builds):
    • Extract scripts.
    • Create sub-folder (prefix) <scripts_dir>/usr/local in scripts directory
    • Make sure the file named "prefix" exists in same directory as scripts
    • "prefix" should contain one line that matches the prefix of where files will be installed. E.g., If you created the sub-folder <scripts_dir>/usr/local, you will be installing to the "/usr/local" folder on the system. The "prefix" file should match this.
    • Place files in Unix-like directory tree under <scripts_dir>/usr/local
    • Open a Unix shell (MSYS/Sh/Bash/MinTTY/Rxvt)
    • Navigate to <scripts_dir>
    • Run "./genindex.sh"
    • Run "./install.sh"
    • To verify files are installed run "./checkinstall.sh"
    • To uninstall run "./uninstall.sh" from <scripts_dir>:
      • sub-directory "/usr/local" does not need to exist for "./checkinstall.sh" and "./uninstall.sh". The only files required are the scripts themselves, "files", and "prefix".
    • The file "prefix" tells the scripts in what sub-folder the installation files are in and to what prefix they will be installed. ${DESTDIR} can be added to install files to ${DESTDIR}/${prefix}.
