+ to obtain the macsetup module from the Privoxy Sourceforge CVS

+ contains scripts that leverage the usual open-source tools (available
+ as part of Apple's free of charge Xcode distribution or via the usual
+ open-source software package managers for OS X (MacPorts, Homebrew,
+ Fink etc.) to build and then install the privoxy binary and
+ associated files. The macsetup module's README file contains complete

+
+ <p>To manually start or stop the privoxy service, use the Privoxy

+ target="_top">project download page</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>If you like to live on the bleeding edge and are not afraid of using

+ up-to-the-minute version directly from <a href=
+ "http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=11118" target="_top">the CVS
+ repository</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>To build <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> from source,
+ <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html" target=
+ "_top">autoconf</a>, <a href=
+ "http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html" target="_top">GNU make
+ (gmake)</a>, and, of course, a C compiler like <a href=
+ "http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html" target="_top">gcc</a> are
+ required.</p>
+
+ <p>When building from a source tarball, first unpack the source:</p>
+
+ <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">

+
+ <p>For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need a CVS client

+
+ <p>Using GNU <b class="COMMAND">make</b>, you can have the first four

+ <td>
+ <pre class="SCREEN">

+
+ <p>To build an executable with security enhanced features so that users
+ cannot easily bypass the proxy (e.g. <span class="QUOTE">"Go There
+ Anyway"</span>), or alter their own configurations, <b class=
+ "COMMAND">configure</b> like this:</p>
+
+ <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+ <tr>
+ <td>
+ <pre class="SCREEN">
+ ./configure --disable-toggle --disable-editor --disable-force
+</pre>
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>Then build as above. In Privoxy 3.0.7 and later, all of these
+ options can also be disabled through the configuration file.</p>
+
+ <p><span class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">WARNING:</i></span> If
+ installing as root, the install will fail unless a non-root user or
+ group is specified, or a <tt class="LITERAL">privoxy</tt> user and
+ group already exist on the system. If a non-root user is specified, and
+ no group, then the installation will try to also use a group of the
+ same name as <span class="QUOTE">"user"</span>. If a group is specified
+ (and no user), then the support files will be installed as writable by
+ that group, and owned by the user running the installation.</p>
+
+ <p><b class="COMMAND">configure</b> accepts <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">--with-user</tt> and <tt class="LITERAL">--with-group</tt>
+ options for setting user and group ownership of the configuration files
+ (which need to be writable by the daemon). The specified <span class=
+ "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">user must already exist</i></span>. When
+ starting <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, it must be run as
+ this same user to insure write access to configuration and log
+ files!</p>
+
+ <p>Alternately, you can specify <tt class="LITERAL">user</tt> and
+ <tt class="LITERAL">group</tt> on the <b class="COMMAND">make</b>
+ command line, but be sure both already exist:</p>
+
+ <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+ <tr>
+ <td>
+ <pre class="SCREEN">
+ make -s install USER=privoxy GROUP=privoxy
+</pre>
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+ <p>The default installation path for <b class="COMMAND">make
+ install</b> is <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>. This may of course
+ be customized with the various <b class="COMMAND">./configure</b> path
+ options. If you are doing an install to anywhere besides <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, be sure to set the appropriate paths with
+ the correct configure options (<b class="COMMAND">./configure
+ --help</b>). Non-privileged users must of course have write access
+ permissions to wherever the target installation is going.</p>
+
+ <p>If you do install to <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, the
+ install will use <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">sysconfdir=$prefix/etc/privoxy</tt> by default. All other
+ destinations, and the direct usage of <tt class=
+ "LITERAL">--sysconfdir</tt> flag behave like normal, i.e. will not add
+ the extra <tt class="FILENAME">privoxy</tt> directory. This is for a
+ safer install, as there may already exist another program that uses a
+ file with the <span class="QUOTE">"config"</span> name, and thus makes
+ <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local/etc</tt> cleaner.</p>
+
+ <p>If installing to <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>, the
+ documentation will go by default to <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">$prefix/share/doc</tt>. But if this directory doesn't exist,
+ it will then try <tt class="FILENAME">$prefix/doc</tt> and install
+ there before creating a new <tt class="FILENAME">$prefix/share/doc</tt>
+ just for <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>.</p>
+
+ <p>Again, if the installs goes to <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/local</tt>,
+ the <tt class="LITERAL">localstatedir</tt> (ie: <tt class=
+ "FILENAME">var/</tt>) will default to <tt class="FILENAME">/var</tt>
+ instead of <tt class="LITERAL">$prefix/var</tt> so the logs will go to
+ <tt class="FILENAME">/var/log/privoxy/</tt>, and the pid file will be
+ created in <tt class="FILENAME">/var/run/privoxy.pid</tt>.</p>
+
+ <p><b class="COMMAND">make install</b> will attempt to set the correct
+ values in <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt> (main configuration file).
+ You should check this to make sure all values are correct. If
+ appropriate, an init script will be installed, but it is up to the user
+ to determine how and where to start <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>. The init script should be checked for
+ correct paths and values, if anything other than a default install is
+ done.</p>
+
+ <p>If install finds previous versions of local configuration files,
+ most of these will not be overwritten, and the new ones will be
+ installed with a <span class="QUOTE">"new"</span> extension.
+ default.action and default.filter <span class="emphasis"><i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">will be overwritten</i></span>. You will then need to
+ manually update the other installed configuration files as needed. The
+ default template files <span class="emphasis"><i class=
+ "EMPHASIS">will</i></span> be overwritten. If you have customized,
+ local templates, these should be stored safely in a separate directory
+ and defined in <tt class="FILENAME">config</tt> by the <span class=
+ "QUOTE">"templdir"</span> directive. It is of course wise to always
+ back-up any important configuration files <span class="QUOTE">"just in
+ case"</span>. If a previous version of <span class=
+ "APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> is already running, you will have to
+ restart it manually.</p>
