Installation

These installation instructions are valid for WoStransform version 1.3 and after.

How to Get WoStransform

Get WoStransform from sourceforge.net, project LitTool: http://sourceforge.net/projects/littool as a gzipped tar archive. The filename is wostransform-version.tar.gz, where version is the version number.

Basic Installation

Copy or move the archive to a directory of your choice .

Unzip and unpack the archive:

gunzip wostransform-version.tar.gz ; tar xf wostransform-version.tar

This will generate files in directory distribution_directory/wostransform-version. Change to this directory, which we will call the distribution root.

Configure the package (see also the generic instructions in file INSTALL in the distribution directory; this assumes that you have the autotools installed on your computer):

./configure

will allow you to install into /usr/local. You may need root privileges to do that. If you want to install into install-directory, use the --prefix option:

./configure --prefix=install-directory

Compile the sources:

make

Install the program:

make install

Make, install, and access the documentation (local version):

This is optional and requires the program doxygen to be installed in your computer.

make doc

You can access the documentation with any browser by pointing to file:///distribution_root/documentation/html/index.html (exchange distribution_root to the respective path on your system) on your local computer. The documentation generated in this way is up-to-date for your distribution/version of WoStransform. Documentation for other versions may be found here.

Use the man page (deprecated): Copy the man page WoStransform.1.gz (in subdirectory documentation of your distribution root) into a directory in your MANPATH, e.g. into /usr/share/man/man1. You may need root privileges to do this. Note, that the man page is no longer maintained (after version 1.2). Please use the html documentation generated above if at all possible or the web documentation.

Installation for Developers

Developers may download the cvs version of WoStransform from http://littool.cvs.sourceforge.net or through the project page .

In the distribution root type

bootstrap
libtoolize
bootstrap

(ignore the messages) and then continue with the configure and make sequence described above.
