Getting Started with BibTool Installation on UNIX

Installation on UNIX

Some special preparations have been made for UNIX systems. autoconf scripts are provided which try to find out the characteristics of the system automatically.

General instructions:

A
Run the configure script with the command:

	./configure

The following options are useful for configure:

--with-kpathsea

try to find the kpathsea library either in the current directory or in the previous directory. Thus you can place the BibTool directory in the same directory where the directory kpathsea resides or you can put the kpathsea directory in in the BibTool directory. (default) (See also section Using the kpathsea library)

--without-kpathsea

disable the search for the kpathsea library.

--prefix=PREFIX

install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local]

--exec-prefix=EPREFIX

install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [same as prefix]

--bindir=DIR

the bibtool executable is stored in DIR [EPREFIX/bin]

--libdir=DIR

the BibTool directory containing certain resource files are stored in DIR [EPREFIX\fiel /lib]

--mandir=DIR

the manual pages bibtool.1 is stored in DIR [PREFIX/man]
