Installation on Unix/Linux systems
Download
The source code is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dktools.
Prerequisitions
The following libraries are required/recommended to be installed before the dktools installation:
- zlib (recommended)
http://www.zlib.net - bzip2 (recommended)
http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2 - dklibs (1.10.0 or above) (required)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dklibs - OpenSSL (recommended)
http://www.openssl.org
Note: If you installed these packages using your
OS vendors package management
software make sure the header files... are also installed.
Some systems have separated packages: one for binaries and shared libraries
and an additional one (mostly called "xxx developer support")
containing C header files and other material needed to compile programs
using the library.
Installation procedure
The usual procedure
./configure make make install
can be used to install the software.
Installation package prefix
Use
./configure make make pp=/tmp/dktools-files install
to create a binary which is running from /usr/local/bin but install a directory structure in /tmp/dktools-files. This can be used to prepare a directory structure for rpm or other binary packag generation.
Installation on Windows sytems
Executable setup
The dklibs-win32 package of the dklibs SourceForge project at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dklibs
contains the executable files
dklibs-win32-user-*.exe and dklibs-win32-base-*.exe.
The dklibs-win32-user-*.exe file is the recommended setup, it installs
binaries and documentation to the local hard disk. The dklibs-win32-base-*.exe
file only installs the binaries, start menu entries for documentation will
point to web resources. This is recommended only for computers connected
to the internet permanently.
Installation from source on Windows
This is possible, of course. Good skills in using your development environment, C compiler linker and make program are required. The file http://dklibs.sourceforge.net/inst_w32.html a detailed description how to build the dklibs and dklibs-based software like dktools from source on Windows systems.
