It's taken me a while to get around to trying to install from the git repository. With experimental stuff, I prefer to do things in my local directory, so that if it blows up, it doesn't blow up with root permissions. I've done this in the past with other software, so I think it can be done. Note that I'm running in Gentoo, if it makes any difference. I have fltk-1.3.2 installed with USE="opengl threads xft" enabled and other fltk options disabled. Here's my /home/waltdnes/dillo/dbuild script, which I've loosely based on instructions at http://www.dillo.org/source.html After the initial "hg clone" command, updates are pulled in by "git pull" from inside the dillo3 directory; is that correct? #!/bin/bash # hg clone http://hg.dillo.org/dillo dillo3 cd /home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3 PREFIX=/home/waltdnes/.local CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} make clean git pull ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install-strip The process works until the last step, where it's suggested to sudo, to allow installing in /usr/local It fails like so... make[4]: Entering directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin' /bin/sh /home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/install-sh -c -s dillo '/usr/local/bin' cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/_inst.22011_': Permission denied Makefile:538: recipe for target 'install-binPROGRAMS' failed make[4]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' Makefile:856: recipe for target 'install-am' failed make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' Makefile:695: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' Makefile:469: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3' Makefile:767: recipe for target 'install-strip' failed make: *** [install-strip] Error 2 What settings do I need to make to get the install totally in my home directory? While I'm at it, what are the manual tweaks to enable "gif jpeg png ssl" and disable "-doc -ipv6" in the build? Can all the settings be put into local.mk, so I can "set it and forget it"? -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes at waltdnes.org>
