Virtuoso Open Source Installation Layout Introduction Virtuoso Open Source edition can be configured in a number of default installation styles that should match the conventions on various distribution platforms. Using the configure script the user can change both the top level directory using the "--prefix=/install/in/here" flag as well as overrule specific directories to point to a different location e.g. "--htmldir=/var/www/html/virtuoso" to put a copy of the virtuoso manual directly into the Apache server on the current machine. Here is an overview of all the flags to configure that change the installation layout: ./configure --help Installation directories: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource] --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [PREFIX] By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/bin', `/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. For better control, use the options below. Fine tuning of the installation directories: --bindir=DIR user executables [EPREFIX/bin] --sbindir=DIR system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin] --libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec] --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc] --sharedstatedir=DIR modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com] --localstatedir=DIR modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var] --libdir=DIR object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib] --includedir=DIR C header files [PREFIX/include] --oldincludedir=DIR C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include] --datarootdir=DIR read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share] --datadir=DIR read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR] --infodir=DIR info documentation [DATAROOTDIR/info] --localedir=DIR locale-dependent data [DATAROOTDIR/locale] --mandir=DIR man documentation [DATAROOTDIR/man] --docdir=DIR documentation root [DATAROOTDIR/doc/virtuoso-opensource] --htmldir=DIR html documentation [DOCDIR] --dvidir=DIR dvi documentation [DOCDIR] --pdfdir=DIR pdf documentation [DOCDIR] --psdir=DIR ps documentation [DOCDIR] Program names: --program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program names --program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed program names --program-transform-name=PROGRAM run sed PROGRAM on installed program names Since there are a lot of different flags involved we decided to add an option to configure that sets the common flags for a particular distribution. At this time time configure accepts the following options for layout: --with-layout=LAYOUT Choose installation layout where LAYOUT can be one of the following settings; debian freebsd gentoo gnu openlink opt redhat Standard settings Installation directories:
