Do a +"make solaris", which will automatically build two Solaris +installable package files for the package, IZzip. + + IZzip -- Solaris installable package in directory format. + IZzip_$(arch).pkg -- Solaris installable package in "stream" format. + + Where: $(arch) := system architecture, currently i386, sparc, or ppc. + (use "uname -p" to determine) + +The ".pkg" file is a single file datastream that can be compressed +and/or ftp'd. This is the recommended form, because all required +files are resident in the archive, and it is easily distributed. + +To install, simply: + + 1) copy the package to the target system's /tmp directory. + 2) login or su to root + 3) pkgadd -d /tmp/IZzip_$(arch).pkg + 4) add /opt/Info-ZIP/IZzip/bin to PATH + 5) add /opt/Info-ZIP/IZzip/man to MANPATH + +This works for both SPARC and x86. + +Ongoing maintenance: + + Keep the files, "prototype" and "pkginfo.in" up to date. + Observe variable substitutions made by "Makefile". + See manpages for pkginfo(1), pkginfo(4), pkgmk(1), pkgproto(1) + +Variations: + + If you wish the base directory to be set to something other than + /opt/Info-ZIP, change the setting BASEDIR in pkginfo.in and + re-run the make. + + +-John Bush (John.Bush@East.Sun.COM) + July 20, 1996 + |
