-INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPILE AND INSTALL NANO CVS VERSIONS
-=====================================================
-
-GNU nano is available from CVS, but building this needs a bit more care
-than the official stable and unstable tarballs.
-
-
-Prerequisites
--------------
-
-To successfully compile GNU nano from CVS, you'll need the following
-packages:
-
-- autoconf (version >= 2.54)
-- automake (version >= 1.7)
-- gettext (version >= 0.11.5)
-- groff (version >= 1.12)
-- texinfo (version >= 4.0)
-- cvs
-- ssh (with support for the SSH version 2 protocol)
-- glib 2.x (if your system doesn't have vsnprintf(), which the configure
- script will check for)
-- make, gcc and the normal development libraries (curses or slang, etc.)
-
-These should be available on your GNU mirror. Note that you'll need a
-version of curses or slang with wide character support if you want nano
-to use UTF-8.
-
-
-Download the source
--------------------
-
-First, you need to set up cvs to download the CVS tree using ssh. If
-you're using a Bourne shell (e.g. bash or sh), do
-
- $ export CVS_RSH=ssh
-
-If you're using a C shell (e.g. tcsh or csh), do
-
- $ setenv CVS_RSH ssh
-
-After that's set up, cd to your src directory and use the following
-command to download the CVS tree:
-
- $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/nano checkout nano
-
-If you want to download the stable CVS branch, add "-r nano_2_0_branch":
-
- $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/nano checkout -r nano_2_0_branch nano
-
-
-Generate the configure script
------------------------------
-
-Once you have the sources in the "nano" directory,
-
- $ cd nano
- $ ./autogen.sh
-
-This will set up a configure script and a Makefile.in file.
-
-
-Configure your build
---------------------
-
-To configure your build, run the configure script from the nano source
-directory:
-
- $ ./configure [--add-options-here]
-
-
-Build and install
------------------
-
-From the nano source directory, build the code with:
-
- $ make
-
-Then, once it's done compiling, run
-
- $ make install
-
-which should copy various files (i.e. the nano executable, the info and
-man pages, and syntax highlighting pattern files) to their appropriate
-directories.
-
-If you're installing into the default install directory (/usr/local),
-you'll need to run that "make install" command with root privileges.
-
-
-Problems?
----------
-
-Please submit any bugs in the CVS branch to nano-devel@gnu.org.
