Building
Building phorward is simple as every GNU-style open source program. Extract the downloaded release tarball or clone the source repository into a directory of your choice.
Then, run
./configure
make
make install
And you're ready to go!
Alternative development build
Alternatively, there is also a simpler method for setting up a local build system for development and testing purposes.
To do so, type
make -f Makefile.gnu make_install
make
This locally compiles the library or parts of it, and is ideal for development purposes.
Stand-alone copy
The entire library including its tools can be made available in one target directory by using the script ./standalone.sh
.
This makes stand-alone integration of the entire library into other projects possible without a previous installation or porting, and easier maintainable packages.
The generated stand-alone package contains a Makefile
and can directly be built.
