How to install pipe-tools

Like any other piece of software (and information generally), pipe-tools comes with NO WARRANTY.

Requirements

System

A Unix-like system

Build-time

A standard C development environment
The skalibs package, version 0.21 or higher

Run-time

No dependencies.

Installation

pipe-tools follows the slashpackage convention.

Create a /package directory:

     mkdir -p /package
     chmod 1755 /package
     cd /package

Download the latest version of pipe-tools, pipe-tools-0.45.tar.gz, into /package.

Unpack the pipe-tools package:

     tar -zxpvf pipe-tools-0.45.tar.gz
     # if you do not have GNU tar, check with your gunzip and tar manual pages.
     rm pipe-tools-0.45.tar.gz
     cd admin/pipe-tools-0.45

If you want to use another compiler and linker than the default, edit src/sys/conf-cc and src/sys/conf-ld as needed. In particular, you could try and statically compile the software, if your libc makes it easy.
Compile and set up pipe-tools:
```
     package/install
```
or perform package/compile to compile it, then look into the command subdirectory and copy the binaries where you need them.

To report success :

	 cat package/name package/version compile/sys/sysdeps | mail ska-sysdeps@skarnet.org

You can then delete the compile subdirectory to save disk space.
