  1. Solaris packaging
  2. -----------------
  3. To generate a Solaris package for Info-ZIP zip utilities,
  4. first see the top level INSTALL and README files. Do a
  5. "make solaris", which will automatically build two Solaris
  6. installable package files for the package, IZzip.
  7. IZzip -- Solaris installable package in directory format.
  8. IZzip_$(arch).pkg -- Solaris installable package in "stream" format.
  9. Where: $(arch) := system architecture, currently i386, sparc, or ppc.
  10. (use "uname -p" to determine)
  11. The ".pkg" file is a single file datastream that can be compressed
  12. and/or ftp'd. This is the recommended form, because all required
  13. files are resident in the archive, and it is easily distributed.
  14. To install, simply:
  15. 1) copy the package to the target system's /tmp directory.
  16. 2) login or su to root
  17. 3) pkgadd -d /tmp/IZzip_$(arch).pkg
  18. 4) add /opt/Info-ZIP/IZzip/bin to PATH
  19. 5) add /opt/Info-ZIP/IZzip/man to MANPATH
  20. This works for both SPARC and x86.
  21. Ongoing maintenance:
  22. Keep the files, "prototype" and "pkginfo.in" up to date.
  23. Observe variable substitutions made by "Makefile".
  24. See manpages for pkginfo(1), pkginfo(4), pkgmk(1), pkgproto(1)
  25. Variations:
  26. If you wish the base directory to be set to something other than
  27. /opt/Info-ZIP, change the setting BASEDIR in pkginfo.in and
  28. re-run the make.
