To compile:
-----------
- sh configure
+ you need the following libraries installed on your system.
+
+ cgilib-0.5.tar.gz
+ freetype-2.1.5.tar.gz
+ libart_lgpl-2.3.16.tar.gz
+ libpng-1.2.5.tar.gz
+ zlib-1.2.1.tar.gz
+
+ you can either get these libraries directly from their original sites
+ or you can get copies from
+
+ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/libs
+
+ if the libraries are not installed in standard places you may need
+ to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS accordingly. This will be improved in further
+ editions of this developers series. Here is an example call.
+
+ env CPPFLAGS="-I/scratch/oetiker/cgilib-0.5 \
+ -I/scratch/oetiker/lib/include/libart-2.0 \
+ -I/scratch/oetiker/lib/include \
+ -I/scratch/oetiker/lib/include/freetype2" \
+ LDFLAGS="-L/scratch/oetiker/lib/lib -R/scratch/oetiker/lib/lib \
+ -L/scratch/oetiker/cgilib-0.5" \
+ ./configure --prefix=/scratch/oetiker/rrdtool
+
make <------ GNU make
+
make install <------ GNU make
This will configure, compile and install RRDtool in
sh configure --prefix=/some/other/RRDtool-dir
-If you prefer to live with shared libraries, make sure you add the
---enable-shared option to your configure call.
-
- sh configure --enable-shared
-
The configure script will try to find your perl installation (5.004
preferred). If it does not find it, you can still build RRDtool but no perl
modules will be generated.
RRDtool perl programs. If you do not care what happens to your site-perl
directory, you can also use
- make site-perl-install
+ --enable-perl-site-install
-will install the perl modules whereever you keep your local perl modules.
-Doing this reliefs you from using 'use lib' in your scripts.

Configure will also look for an TCL installation on your system. If it finds
-one it will build a TCL interface for rrdtool. If you keep tcl in a non
+one it will build a TCL interface for RRDtool. If you keep tcl in a non
standard location you can use
sh configure --with-tcllib=/sw/tcl-8.3/lib
