Official packages are released only on SourceForge.net site, please avoid alternative sources.
Installing libjf on a "tested architecture" is a 6 steps task:
tar xvjf libjf-v.r.p-c.a.e-YYYYMMDDhhmm.tar.bz2 cd libjf-v.r.p ./configure make make check sudo make installif something goes wrong, please refer to this resources:
FAQ (distributed with the package and available on line at official site)
README (distributed with the package)
forums and tracker hosted on SourceForge.net
Please note "make check" step does not perform an "in depth" test: if you are interested in testing all the features of libjf, take a look to shipped README file.
If you have completed your 6 steps installation, libjf should be installed at default path (/opt/libjf); should you prefer an alternative path, use --prefix option at configure step. From now on we will assume you have installed the library at its default path.
Installation procedure does not install documentation will remain in your package base sub-directory doc.
It's suggested to append libjf "bin" directory to your environment var PATH:
tiian@linux:~/tutorial> export PATH=$PATH:/opt/libjf/bin/ tiian@linux:~/tutorial> type jf_report jf_report is /opt/libjf/bin/jf_reportthis can save you a lot of typing.
