When building from a source tarball, first unpack the source:
- tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.11-beta-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz]
- cd privoxy-3.0.11-beta
-
+ tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.27-beta-src.tar.gz
+ cd privoxy-3.0.27-beta
For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need a CVS client installed.
Note that sources from CVS are typically development quality, and may not be
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current
cd current
-
This will create a directory named current/, which will contain the source
tree.
privoxy:*:7777:7777:privoxy proxy:/no/home:/no/shell
-
And then /etc/group, like:
privoxy:*:7777:
-
Some binary packages may do this for you.
Then, to build from either unpacked tarball or CVS source:
make -n install # (to see where all the files will go)
make -s install # (to really install, -s to silence output)
-
Using GNU make, you can have the first four steps automatically done for you by
just typing:
make
-
in the freshly downloaded or unpacked source directory.
To build an executable with security enhanced features so that users cannot
./configure --disable-toggle --disable-editor --disable-force
-
-Then build as above. In Privoxy 3.0.7 and later, all of these options can also
-be disabled through the configuration file.
+Note that all of these options can also be disabled through the configuration
+file.
WARNING: If installing as root, the install will fail unless a non-root user or
group is specified, or a privoxy user and group already exist on the system. If
make -s install USER=privoxy GROUP=privoxy
-
The default installation path for make install is /usr/local. This may of
course be customized with the various ./configure path options. If you are
doing an install to anywhere besides /usr/local, be sure to set the appropriate
