Nemo DJB Library (libdjb) - Installation

Requirements

Preferable

• <stdint.h>,
• malloc(3) that returns aligned memory.

Preparation

1. Download the compressed archive.
2. Decompress the archive.
3. Change directory to the uncompressed package.

Review the following files - these provide build time configuration options. Only the first line is used for the configuration parameter, the remainder of the file may contain comments.

Configuration files

File name	Type	Description
conf-ar	text	The command that will be used to create archives (libraries).
conf-cc	text	The command that will be used to compile .c files.
conf-devtcp	integer	Flag indicating the presence of TCP device node in the system (SunOS 5).
conf-ld	text	The command that will be used to link .o files into an executable.
conf‑malloc‑aligned	integer	Flag indicating that malloc(3) returns pointers to aligned memory.
conf-manuser	text	Owner (username) of the installed manual pages and directories.
conf-noreturn	text	Value of the macro "__NORETURN__". Used to indicate that a function will not return.
conf-prefix	text	Path to the nemo-libdjb prefix directory.
conf-stdint	integer	Flag to indicate the presence of "standard integers" present in the development system. Typically stdint.h must exist for standard integers.
conf-unused	text	Value of the macro "__UNUSED__". Used to indicate unused function parameters; only comes to light if using strict compiler settings.

How to Build

Notice To Package Maintainers

To easily deploy packages, several convenient features are incorporated into the build system.

They are:

• stand alone configuration files - see above,
• install.log - a file detailing the file system changes performed during the install phase.
