Basic Installation $Id$ How to install: ./configure make make install In addition to the usual options, configure understands the following stuff for customization to your environment: --enable-debug Adds -g to CFLAGS, so you will get debugging-versions of the programs and libplp --with-serial=/dev/sometty overrides the default serial device for ncpd. Without this option, configure tries to automagically find a serial device. --with-speed=baudrate overrides the default serial speed of 115200 baud. --with-port=portnum overrides the default port number, where ncpd listens and plpftp resp. plpnfsd connects to. --with-drive=drivespec overrides the default drive for plpftp. The default "AUTO" triggers a drive-scan on the psion and sets the drive to the first drive found. If you don't want that, specify C: for example. --with-basedir=dirspec overrides the default directory for plpftp. The default is \\ which means the root-dir. Note: directory-separators have to be specified as C-like backslashes and if you consider shell's escape-mechanism, these in turn have to be escaped with backslashes ;-) --disable-mnttab By default, configure checks for existence of /etc/mtab or /etc/mnttab and configures plpnfsd to update that file every time when it mounts or unmounts the psion. If plpnfsd crashes or is killed during that update, /etc/mtab resp. /etc/mnttab can be corrupted. Since this file on some operating systems is vital for functionality of mount/umount, this update can be disabled with the above option. By default, the install-prefix is /usr/local, so you probably should add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig after installation. Another option is to run configure with the option --prefix=/usr Have fun. -Fritz
