Next: Emacs support, Previous: Requirements, Up: Installing MDK [Contents][Index]
MDK uses GNU Autoconf and Automake tools, and, therefore, should be built and installed without hassle using the following commands inside the source directory:
./configure make make install
where the last one must be run as root.
The first command, configure
, will setup the makefiles for your
system. In particular, configure
will look for GTK+ and libglade,
and, if they are present, will generate the appropriate makefiles for
building the gmixvm
graphical user interface. Upon completion,
you should see a message with the configuration results like the
following:
*** GNU MDK 1.3.0 has been successfully configured. *** Type 'make' to build the following utilities: - mixasm (MIX assembler) - mixvm (MIX virtual machine, with readline support, with guile support) - gmixvm (mixvm GTK+ GUI, with guile support) - mixguile (the mixvm guile shell)
where the last lines may be missing if you lack the above mentioned libraries.
The next command, make
, will actually build the MDK programs
in the following locations:
You can run these programs from within their directories, but I
recommend you to install them in proper locations using make
install
from a root shell.
