genxproj - auto-installation in user's home

This installation method:

• does not require root
• installs genxproj in the current user's home directory
• compiles and installs all "custom" dependencies automatically
• results in a fully usable installation for the given user

Requirements

The following requirements have to be met before the installation starts:

• OS: must be Linux (genxproj is not portable - it works only on Linux and X11)
• required development tools: gcc, GNU make, a command line svn client
• required common libs (recommended to be installed from distro packages):
  • libpng-dev
  • xlib-dev
  • lua5.1-dev

installation procedure

• svn checkout svn://repo.hu/genxproj/branches/nodep
• cd nodep
• ./configure
• edit Makefile.conf if you don't like the default installation path; all files will be installed under this directory.
• make
• make install
• make install will print the full path to the script that needs to be executed to run genxproj. Copy/move this script to a directory that is on your $PATH, e.g. ~/bin.
• type genxproj in any directory and it will start genxproj; note: will work only when logged in by the user who made the installation!

uninstallation procedure

Remove the installation path (default was: ~/.genxproj) recursively.
