Installing calc in 4 easy steps:
1) Look at the makefile, and adjust it to suit your needs.
Here are some Makefile hints:
Select a compiler set by commenting in the appropriate
set of cc options. As shipped the Makefile assumes
a gcc-like environment such as Linux.
If a more appropriate cc set if found below, comment
out the Linux set and comment in that set or edit
the gcc set or the common cc set as needed.
You may or may not need RANLIB when building libraries.
As shipped the Makefile assumes RANLIB is needed.
Comment the in/out the RANLIB value if ranlib does
not work or does not exist.
You may want to change the default pager used by calc.
As shipped the Makefile assumes 'more'. On your system
you may find 'less' to be a better pager.
The CALCBINDINGS is matter of personal taste. As shipped
the Makefile assumes a default quasi-emacs-like command
line editor. Changing CALCBINDINGS= altbind will cause ^D
to end calc in a fashion similar to that of the bc(1) command.
Set TOPDIR to be the place under which help files, calc,
include files and calc libs are to be installed. As shipped
the Makefile assumes a TOPDIR of /usr/local/lib.
Set BINDIR to the place where calc is installed. As shipped
the Makefile assumes a BINDIR /usr/local/bin.
Adjust other Makefile variables as needed.
2) build calc:
make all
==> We are interested in any compiler warnings (and errors) that
you may find. See the BUGS file if you find any.
3) test calc:
make check
==> If you run into problems, follow the instructions in the BUGS file
4) install calc:
make install
