37 To build Privoxy from source, autoconf, GNU make (gmake), and, of course, a C
38 compiler like gcc are required.
40 When building from a source tarball (either release version or nightly CVS
41 tarball), first unpack the source:
43 tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.3-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz]
47 For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need CVS installed. Note that
48 sources from CVS are development quality, and may not be stable, or well
49 tested. To download CVS source:
51 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
52 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current
56 This will create a directory named current/, which will contain the source
59 Then, in either case, to build from unpacked tarball or CVS source:
63 ./configure # (--help to see options)
64 make # (the make from gnu, gmake for *BSD)
66 make -n install # (to see where all the files will go)
67 make install # (to really install)
70 If you have gnu make, you can have the first four steps automatically done for
76 in the freshly downloaded or unpacked source directory.
78 For more detailed instructions on how to build Redhat and SuSE RPMs, Windows
79 self-extracting installers, building on platforms with special requirements
80 etc, please consult the developer manual.
82 For binary RPM installation, and other platforms, see the user-manual as well.
