| 1 | This is how you install w3mir on a Unix system. Please see the file
|
|---|
| 2 | INSTALL.w32 for install instructions for win32 systems.
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | INSTALLING PREREQUISITES:
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | The prerequisites are the perl packages libwww-perl, and MIME-Base64.
|
|---|
| 7 | The w3mir install procedure will check for their presence and complain
|
|---|
| 8 | if they are not there, so if you are unsure what you have you might
|
|---|
| 9 | skip this part for now.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | - Get libwww-perl from CPAN
|
|---|
| 12 | (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/WWW/). W3mir does not work
|
|---|
| 13 | with LWP 5.40 and later versions. Please get an earlier version.
|
|---|
| 14 | It also does not work with the new URI package. Use the URI package
|
|---|
| 15 | enclosed in the older LWP.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | - Unpack it:
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | gzip -dc libwww-perl-*.tar.gz | tar xvBf -
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | - Install it. W3mir does not require the whole libwww-perl package and
|
|---|
| 22 | all the packages that goes with it to work so you may follow these
|
|---|
| 23 | install instructions instead of the libwww-perl install instructions
|
|---|
| 24 | to get an easier install which will work with w3mir.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | cd libwww-perl-*
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | Are you going to install it in the standard perl place (you need to
|
|---|
| 29 | be the system administrator to do this)? If so:
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | perl Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | If not (if you are a user):
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/dir
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | /some/dir could be ~ (as in your home directory).
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | IF you are installing an old LWP just for w3mir you can install both
|
|---|
| 40 | the old LWP, the Base64 module and w3mir in a special PREFIX
|
|---|
| 41 | separate from your usual install PREFIX. This ensures that w3mir will
|
|---|
| 42 | access the older version of LWP and that other software will access
|
|---|
| 43 | the newer version. If you do this make sure you install all of LWP,
|
|---|
| 44 | Base64 and w3mir with the same PREFIX.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | This step might produce some complaints; A standard perl
|
|---|
| 47 | installation will typically get messages about missing these
|
|---|
| 48 | modules: IO::Socket, NET::FTP and MD5. None of these need be
|
|---|
| 49 | installed to run w3mir and so any error messages about these may
|
|---|
| 50 | safely be ignored.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | make
|
|---|
| 53 | make test (robot/ua and local/http might fail, that's OK)
|
|---|
| 54 | make install
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | Now libwww-perl should be installed and working.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | - You also have to get the MIME-Base64 package
|
|---|
| 59 | (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/MIME/)
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | - Unpack it:
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | gzip -dc MIME-Base64-*.tar.gz | tar xvBf -
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | - Install it:
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | cd MIME-Base64-*
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | Then, as above, either
|
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 | perl Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 | or
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/dir
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | Continue:
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | make
|
|---|
| 80 | make test (it should print 'All tests successful.')
|
|---|
| 81 | make install
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | Now MIME-Base64 should be installed and working.
|
|---|
| 84 |
|
|---|
| 85 | INSTALLING W3MIR:
|
|---|
| 86 |
|
|---|
| 87 | - Get w3mir (http://www.math.uio.no/~janl/w3mir/ or from CPAN)
|
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 | - Unpack it:
|
|---|
| 90 |
|
|---|
| 91 | gzip -dc w3mir-*.tar.gz | tar xvBf -
|
|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|
| 93 | - Install it:
|
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 | cd w3mir-*
|
|---|
| 96 |
|
|---|
| 97 | Are you going to install it in the standard perl place? (You
|
|---|
| 98 | probably need to be the system administrator to do this.) If so:
|
|---|
| 99 |
|
|---|
| 100 | perl Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 101 |
|
|---|
| 102 | If not (if you're a user):
|
|---|
| 103 |
|
|---|
| 104 | perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/dir
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | /some/dir could be ~ (as in your home directory).
|
|---|
| 107 |
|
|---|
| 108 | then
|
|---|
| 109 |
|
|---|
| 110 | make
|
|---|
| 111 | make install
|
|---|
| 112 |
|
|---|
| 113 | w3mir should now be installed correctly. And if it's installed in
|
|---|
| 114 | your path you can even run it. If you use csh or tcsh you want to run
|
|---|
| 115 | 'rehash' before the shell will find it.
