Autoconf(If you are not a developer, you can skip this section.)
In most of the Kerberos V5 source directories, there is a
configure script which automatically determines the compilation
environment and creates the proper Makefiles for a particular
platform. These configure files are generated using
autoconf, which can be found in the src/util/autoconf
directory in the distribution.
Normal users will not need to worry about running autoconf; the
distribution comes with the configure files already prebuilt.
Developers who wish to modify the configure.in files should see
Overview.
Note that in order to run autoconf, you must have GNU m4
in your path. Before you use the autoconf in the Kerberos V5
source tree, you may also need to run configure, and then run
make in the src/util/autoconf directory in order to
properly set up autoconf.
One tool which is provided for the convenience of developers can be
found in src/util/reconf. This program should be run while the
current directory is the top source directory. It will automatically
rebuild any configure files which need rebuilding. If you know
that you have made a change that will require that all the
configure files need to be rebuilt from scratch, specify the
--force option:
% cd /u1/krb5-post-1.4/src
% ./util/reconf --force
The developmental sources are a raw source tree (before it's been packaged
for public release), without the pre-built configure files.
In order to build from such a source tree, you must do:
% cd krb5/util/autoconf
% ./configure
% make
% cd ../..
% util/reconf
Then follow the instructions for building packaged source trees (above). To install the binaries into a binary tree, do:
% cd /u1/krb5-post-1.4/src
% make all
% make install DESTDIR=somewhere-else
