To compile this package, you'll need the following:
- BFD. Any version with disassemblers for x86, ppc and s390 will do. This usually comes with the distro packaged as binutils-devel or similar.
- libkdumpfile. Some distributions now package it as libkdumpfile-devel or libkdumpfile-dev.
- GNU C Library. Almost any version will do. Other C libraries may also work, but since there is no standard interface for byte-order macros, this may need some porting.
- GCC. The source uses a few construct specific to GCC (such as variable attributes). Porting should be easy, though.
Once you've got the prerequisites, simply unpack the tarball and run
make
make install
This installs the binary and manual page under /usr/local
. You can specify a
different PREFIX
, e.g.:
make install PREFIX=/usr
You can also tweak BINDIR
and MANDIR
this way.
