This package does not support parallel build.
Install slang by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-readline=gnu &&
make -j1
To test the results, issue: make check. Note that this will also create a static version of the library which will then be installed in the next step.
Now, as the root user:
make install_doc_dir=/usr/share/doc/slang-2.3.1 \
SLSH_DOC_DIR=/usr/share/doc/slang-2.3.1/slsh \
install-all &&
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libslang.so.2.3.1 \
/usr/lib/slang/v2/modules/*.so
--with-readline=gnu: This
parameter sets GNU Readline to be
used by the parser interface instead of the slang internal version.
make install_doc_dir=/usr/share/doc/slang-2.3.1 SLSH_DOC_DIR=/usr/share/doc/slang-2.3.1/slsh install-all: This command installs the static library as well as the dynamic shared version and related modules. It also changes the documentation installation directories to a versioned directory.
