SYNOPSIS $ vi conf.mk $ make && make strip $ su # make install DESCRIPTION The build system and source code are intended to be generic and portable. Using your preferred text editor, open the file "conf.mk" in the top-level directory to configure the compiler, the compiler options, and the installation directories: $ vi conf.mk As an unprivileged user, build the software with: $ make The system is intended to be make(1) "agnostic", and should build correctly with any standard make provided with either BSD or Linux systems. Strip debugging symbols for smaller executables: $ make strip To install the compiled hdb binary and manual pages, gain administrator privilege and run: $ su # make install The software is now installed on the system. NOTES The package also includes a set of stand-alone utilities for each hdb operation: hdb-get, hdb-make, etc. These may be installed on the system with the "install-binall" make target: $ su # make install-binall The package also includes a file(1) magic(5) entry for the hdb file type in share/magic-hdb. It may be compiled and/or merged with other magic datafiles, and installed in the relevant location according to the host-specific file(1) configuration. ### EOF
