Installation of the newcdbs package starts with retrieving the tar file and unpacking it. To do this, first create a top level for cdbs. Then, copy the tar file from the anonymous ftp area into this directory and unpack the tar file with the command:
After unpacking the tar file, change to the src subdirectory
and type:
This command removes source for tasks not needed on this system,
sets the value of CGI_TOP in the shell scripts, updates several
macros in include/system.h and builds the top level make file.
To recompile the source, type
The top level make file currently supports two other commands: make
make and make clean. The first rebuilds the task make files with
new dependency information. The second removes all files from the
lib and bin subdirectories. Be careful to make sure you do not
delete anything you cannot replace or rebuild before running this
command.
The make install command invokes the Perl script
util/configure.pl. It, in turn, reads information from a
configuration file in the util subdirectory. The name of the file
is the name of the computer that the software is installed from plus
the extension .cfg. This means the software must be installed from
a specific machine on a cluster. For example, the configuration file
for the production system is util/ralph.cfg and this system can
only be installed from ralph. To see which machines are currently
supported, type ls *.cfg in the util subdirectory. If the
machines I ahve chosen are inconvenient, please let me know and I will
rename the configuration file.
The format for definitions in the configuration file is name =
value. Definitions are normally limited to a single line, but may be
continued onto another line by ending the line in a backslash. Value
strings should not be quoted. Leading and trailing blanks are delted
from the value string, but internal blanks are left unchanged. Comment
lines begin with a pound (#) character and blank lines are ignored.
In order to create a configuration for a new system, copy an existing configuration file and edit it. The definitions in the configuration file are divided into several catgories by comments. The definitions that most often change are grouped at the top of the file, but any of the definitions might possibly change.
These three definitions are used by the remove option of
configure, so take care to get them right. Configure removes the
directories that are included in SOURCES but not included in
either TASKS or LIBRARIES. The topmake option, which builds
the top level make file, also uses the latter two definitions.

in the tar file.
These definitions are used to update the system.h include file and
install the cgi shell scripts for getref and query.
yes, the cgi
shell scripts are copied to the cgi-bin directory.
cgi-bin directory.
These commands set the C compiler and its option flags.
-c
flag should not be included in this definition.
-I) flags and their arguments.
These definitions give the path to several directories used in the make files.
bin directory relative to the task
subdirectories.
lib directory relative to the task
subdirectories.
These definitions contain the libraries the tasks link against. The
IRAFLIBS definition for the development system (valis.cfg) contain
two directories that are only needed if syndemo is built:
libsynphot.a and libstxtools.a.
