JAKELIB2

Jakelib runs under GNU/Linux, Solaris, Win32 and probably some other
Unix-like systems.

Jakelib depends on a couple of external libraries: Hans-J. Boehm's
garbage collector is absolutely needed to compile and use
jakelib. Other libraries like pcre (Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions) and MySQL's client libs are optional.


Compile and install

The garbage collector

First thing to do is to download version 6.0 of the garbage collector,
compile and install it. Hans-J. Boehm's garbage collector can be
downloaded directly from the <a
href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/index.html">author's
homepage</a> or from our <a href="download/">download section</a>.

Unpack the zipped tar archive:
  gunzip -c boehm-gc.tar.gz | tar x
Cd into the extracted directory:
  cd gc6.0
Configure, compile and install:
  ./configure --enable-threads=pthreads [--prefix=<GC_PREFIX>]
  make
  make install

If you don't supply the '--prefix=' option to ./configure, the library
files will be copied to /usr/local/lib.


Jakelib

Now download the latest version of jakelib2 from <a
href="http://www.jakelib.org/lib/_jakelib2/download">www.jakelib.org</a>.

Unpack the zipped archive:
  gunzip -c jakelib2-2.X.XX.tar.gz | tar x
Cd into the extracted directory:
  cd jakelib2-2.X.XX
Configure and compile:
  ./configure [--prefix=<JAKELIB_PREFIX>] [--with-gc-dir=<GC_PREFIX>/lib]
  make

If you don't supply the '--prefix=' option to ./configure, the library
files will be copied to /usr/local/lib and include files will be
copied to /usr/local/include. If you didn't install the garbage
collector in default location you'll need to supply the
'--with-gc-dir' option. Just set it to the directory where your
libgc.a file is located.

If compilation succeeded, run
  make test

to see if it works. The test program covers a wide range of operations
all across the library.

Finally run
  make install
to copy the library and include files to their target locations.
