This is version 4.1 of the glimpse package - a tool to search
entire file systems. Please send any comments to [email protected].
Check the file CHANGES for the changes since version 3.0 (there are
many of them) and 4.0 (there are few). The files glimpse.1, glimpseindex.1,
and glimpseserver.1 are the manual pages.
Instructions for installing glimpse, glimpseindex, glimpseserver, and agrep:
1. Both the agrep and index directories have individual Makefiles
which you can use independently. You can make everything
by just typing make in the root glimpse directory. Sample Makefiles for
various architectures have been provided; some have not been tested
recently.
We have a script "configure" in our distribution which has recently been
very much improved. To generate makefiles for your system, run
sh configure
( see ./configure --help for options )
Then run
make
make install
to put binaries under /usr/local/bin. To install to a different directory,
see the --prefix and --bindir options of configure.
This configure script has been tested successfully on
Linux-2.4.2 gcc-2.96 RedHat-7.1
Linux-2.2.16 egcs-2.91.66 RedHat-6.2
Linux-2.2.12 gcc-2.8.1
Solaris-2.5.1 gcc-2.7.2.1
SunOS-4.1.3 gcc-2.8.0
AIX-3.4 cc
2. To make individual binaries in a subdirectory "ddd", do the following:
cd ./ddd ; make ; cd ..
3. To rebuild everything from scratch, do the following:
make clean
You can then proceed with the above steps.
4. The directory libtemplate contains code that was originally part of the
Harvest source distribution. We believe the configuration there will
work on all systems, but there are remnants of the Harvest configuration
system still present. Don't be confused by them; they aren't used.
5. Binaries for several operating systems are available; see the download
webpage (http://webglimpse.net/download.html) for details.
NOTES:
------
People in our mailing list have commented that the make files we provide
work on many other architectures too. We recommend that you do a pairwise
"diff" of these makefiles to find out whether they support the options you
need before trying to modify makefiles to suit your environment. Often a
few changes to compiler options, etc., are enough to port glimpse to a
new architecture / OS. Source code modifications are usually not necessary.
We request you to mail us any changes to the Makefile (or the source) that
are necessary to port glimpse to your architecture, and the corresponding
binaries, so that we can include it in our distribution. We will appreciate
any suggestions and will duly acknowledge all contributions.
Some comments about portability (using the sample Makefiles):
-------------------------------------------------------------
6. You must define HAVE_DIRENT_H in agrep/Makefile, index/Makefile, compress/Makefile
to be 1 or 0 depending on whether your machine has /usr/include/dirent.h
or /usr/include/sys/dir.h. We found that on most machines/OSs like SunOS4.1,
Solaris, Ultrix, AIX, OSF/1, HPUX and SGI IRIX 5.3, HAVE_DIRENT_H should be 1.
On NeXT, HAVE_SYS_DIR_H should be 1 (the rest should be 0).
7. On Solaris, "RANLIB" should be define to be "true" in
agrep/Makefile.solaris and compress/Makefile.solaris.
8. On Solaris (at least the version we have), the library archive
program "ar" is in /usr/ccs/bin/ar instead of /usr/bin/ar.
You must define "AR" in agrep/Makefile.solaris and compress/Makefile.solaris
appropriately or set your PATH to include the appropriate directory name.
9. On Solaris you have to link the glimpse executables with the
socket and nls libraries by specifying "-lsocket" and "-lnsl" to the
make rules for "glimpse" and "glimpseserver".
10. On the DEC ALPHA and HP, the make variable "CC" was changed from
"gcc" to "cc".
11. If you have the utime() routine and <utime.h>, define the make variable
UTIME to 1 in glimpse/Makefile and compress/Makefile. Else define it to 0.
12. If you want to support the international character set (ISO_CHAR_SET), define
the make variable ISO_CHAR_SET to 1 in glimpse/Makefile. Else define it to 0.
13. If you have the function strerr() on your system, #define HAVE_STRERROR to 1
in libtemplate/autoconf.h, else #undef it (or leave the definition in /**/).
This is necessary on some BSD systems (some of our users have said so)
and on NeXT (Gerald Wildgruber, [email protected]). And on Irix 6.*,
although the warning you get from the loader seems to be benign.
14. If you need to add any new macros or flags, you can edit the file:
glimpse/agrep/config.h
and add whatever is needed to make porting easy on your machine / OS.
This file is included throughout glimpse source code.
15. On BSD, it may be necessary to define DONTUSESORT_T_OPTION in the
Makefile for glimpseindex since -T in some BSD systems is defined as
an alternative record separator rather than to specify a directory
other than /tmp to store sort-temporary files.
Porting to other platforms:
--------------------------
We provide, but do not support, pre-compiled glimpse binaries for a variety
of systems; see the glimpse web page for details. If you port glimpse to
a system and are willing to provide binaries for it, send mail to
Makefiles for previous versions of glimpse on the following platforms have
been provided by these people. We do not have these systems available to
us, so are unable to verify that they work with the current version, but
they should be a good starting point.
