Installation instructions

Run make' to compile conkeror-spawn-helper and create the conkeror launch script. Run make install' to install conkeror.

Compilation options

  • make PREFIX=/usr: Install conkeror to /usr instead of /usr/local. Needed in both the build stage and the install stage.
  • make DESTDIR=../pkg PREFIX=/usr install: Install conkeror to ../pkg/usr.
  • make etags: Extrude etags for ease of emacsing.
  • make dist: Create conkeror-$version.tar.gz, where version=$(grep '^Version=' application.ini | cut -d '=' -f 2)
  • make clean: Removes conkeror, conkeror-spawn-helper, versioned tarballs, and etags from the current working directory.
  • make uninstall: Remove files created by make install (remember to set PREFIX and DESTDIR, if need be). You should probably install by creating a proper package using your disribution's packaging tools instead.
