February 12, 2004 linux install script | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
I hate to nitpick about something that seems trivial, but the linux installation instructions leave a little to be desired. I propose including the following bash script (at the end of this message) to the zip file. Installation instructions would then be: 1. chmod +x ./install.bash 2. (as root) ./install.bash This would install the libraries, sources, and config file as well as the html documentation and samples. Also, including the command syntax help in the compiler executable would be a great boon, as well as versioning the compiler, just for the sake of keeping the release executables and libraries managable. Versioning the releases allows using a package creation tool (like checkinstall) to keep track of all the files for removal or updating when the next release comes out. The version I settled on was the date stamp of the compiler as found in the zip file (21 Jan 2004). I would also like to have the dmd directory (in the zip file) labeled with the release (ie: dmd-24jan04), and all the files and directories kept there. Thanks for the great work on it; I am enjoying it so far :) -t. ---- bash script follows ---- #! /bin/bash # Digital Mars D Languge Compiler installation script # May need some fine tuning PREFIX=/usr/local RELEASE=21jan04 PKG=dmd-$RELEASE echo Creating Directories /bin/mkdir -p -m 0755 $PREFIX/doc/$PKG /bin/mkdir -p -m 0755 $PREFIX/share/$PKG/samples /usr/bin/find src -type d \ | while read DIR; do /bin/mkdir -p -m 0755 $PREFIX/share/$PKG/$DIR done echo Done. echo Installing Documentation /usr/bin/find html/d -type f \ | while read DOCFILE; do /usr/bin/ginstall -m 0644 $DOCFILE $PREFIX/doc/$PKG done echo Installing Binaries for BIN in dmd obj2asm dumpobj; do /usr/bin/ginstall -m 0755 bin/$BIN $PREFIX/bin done echo Installing Libraries and Sources /usr/bin/ginstall -m 0644 lib/libphobos.a $PREFIX/lib /usr/bin/find src -type f \ | while read D_SRC; do /usr/bin/ginstall -m 0644 $D_SRC $(dirname $PREFIX/share/$PKG/$D_SRC) done /usr/bin/find samples/d -type f \ | while read SAMPLE; do /usr/bin/ginstall $SAMPLE $PREFIX/share/$PKG/samples done echo Installing config file echo <HERE >bin/dmd.conf [Environment] ; Path to phobos sources DFLAGS=-I$PREFIX/share/$PKG/src/phobos HERE /usr/bin/ginstall -m 0644 bin/dmd.conf /etc echo Done. ---- end script ---- |
