Run `configure --help' for more details. +Installing on Ubuntu +==================== + + Installing the experiment-player on Ubuntu is straight forward. If you +would like to build from a tar-ball, first install all necessary packages: + + sudo apt-get install build-essential xsltproc \ + libgtk2.0-dev libvlc-dev libxml2-dev libx11-dev + + If you build from a Git repository (without prebuilt ./configure) you will +also need autoconf, automake, etc: + + sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool + + If necessary create ./configure by invoking autoreconf: + + autoreconf -i + + Then you can install the package as usual. An `experiment-player` binary +will be installed into /usr/local/bin: + + ./configure + make + sudo make install + + If you plan to develop the experiment-player it is recommended to install +additional packages which will be found by ./configure automatically: + + sudo apt-get install doxygen libgladeui-1-dev glade \ + docbook-xsl docbook5-xml + + The experiment-player can then be configured to generate Doxygen +documentation, install Glade catalog files into the appropriate directory and +build using debug information. Also generating the user documentation using +Docbook will be much faster now: + + ./configure --enable-doxygen-doc --enable-doxygen-extract-private \ + CFLAGS="-g -O0" + make + sudo make install + + There are even some gtester test suites that will be invoked automatically +with the standard "check" target. To run the test suites, use + + make check |
