Installation ============ perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Tweakings to find the bzip2 distribution ======================================== Useful Environment variables ============================ Set these in the environment prior to running "perl Makefile.PL". BUILD_BZLIB=Test BZLIB_LIB= BZLIB_INCLUDE= BZLIB_BIN= Set BZLIB_INCLUDE to the directory with bzlib.h in it. There is no default. Set BZLIB_LIB to the directory with libbz2.a in it. There is no default. Set BZLIB_BIN to the directory with the bzip2 command in it. There is no default. BUILD_BZLIB is a flag variable to control the building of the internal, encapsulated version of bzip2 1.0.2. The default is BUILD_BZLIB=Test. BUILD_BZLIB=1 * Means use the internal bzip2 distribution. BUILD_BZLIB=0 * Means don't. ever. BUILD_BZLIB=Test * Means try to compile a short program (show_bzversion.c) with the standard perl xs compile stuff, plus the settings for BZLIB_INCLUDE and BZLIB_LIB, if any. If it fails, use the internal bzip2. If it succeeds, rely on the system bzip2. The defaults for these environment variables are in config.in. config.in ========= # starts a comment. Has default settings for BUILD_BZLIB, BZLIB_INCLUDE, BZLIB_LIB, BZLIB_BIN.
