-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Building and Installing Quagga: The 'INSTALL' file contains generic instructions on how to use 'configure' scripts. For further Quagga specific information on 'configure' and build-time configuration of the software, please read the Quagga info documentation, (doc/quagga.info). To read the info page included with the Quagga sources without first installing Quagga: cd doc/ pinfo -r quagga.info Assuming you have the user-friendly 'pinfo' info browser installed. You can also the standard GNU 'info' browser, if you prefer this browser you have no doubt already spent a lot of time reading its documentation and dont need to be told how to specify an info file by filename. ;) The Quagga website should also have recent versions of documentation available online. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Building Quagga from CVS checkouts: In order to build from CVS, you will need recent versions of several GNU tools, particularly autoconf, automake, libtool and texinfo. Note that the CVS snapshots on the Quagga website do not require these tools, everything is already setup ready to run 'configure', and if you have trouble building from CVS checkout it is recommended that you try a CVS snapshot instead. If you must build from plain CVS checkouts, the versions which should work at least with: automake: 1.8.5 autoconf: 2.59 libtool: 1.5.6 texinfo: 4.7-4 To create the required files, run either the 'update-autotools' script provided, or else the 'autoreconf' command supplied with your autoconf package. After this you may run configure. You will need a recentish version of GNU Texinfo in order to build doc/quagga.info, which is not supplied in CVS, but is supplied in the CVS snapshots on the Quagga website. You will need to run make to create this file. Please refer to "Building and Installing Quagga" above for further instructions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
