- GNU readline 2.0
- binary distribution for Linux
- -----------------------------
-
- This is a Linux binary distribution of the GNU readline 2.0 package.
- I took the generic sources off of prep.ai.mit.edu and compiled a
- shared library under Linux 1.3.45 with gcc 2.7.0 in ELF.
-
- Here's what I did to compile and install it:
-
- ./configure
- make CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
- gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libreadline.so.2 -o libreadline.so.2.0.0 *.o
- install libreadline.so.2.0.0 /usr/local/lib
- ldconfig -v
- install -m 644 libreadline.a /usr/local/lib
- mkdir /usr/local/include/readline
- chmod 755 /usr/local/include/readline
- install -m 644 chardefs.h history.h keymaps.h readline.h tilde.h /usr/local/include/readline
- install -m 644 doc/readline.3 /usr/local/man/man3
- install -m 644 doc/*.info* /usr/local/info
-
- I tarred it from /usr/local, so you should be able to untar the
- package in either /usr or /usr/local, depending on where you want the
- library. Then, just run "ldconfig -v" and enjoy. :)
-
- Note that I gave the library a number of "2.0.0". There seem to be a
- lot of readline binaries floating around, all with different numbers.
- Since this is the first public Linux/ELF release that I know of, I'm
- taking the opportunity to keep the numbering scheme in line with the
- FSF's: they called it readline 2.0, so I called the library 2.0.0.
-
- Enjoy!
