INSTALLING EMIL V2.1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Emil has been tested on AIX3.2.5, HPUX9.01, SunOS4.1.3, Solaris-2.4, Linux Slackware 3.0 and Ultrix-4.3. Emil depends on flex and a decent ANSI compliant C compiler, a recent version of gcc should always work. If you do not have flex installed on your system, get it at your nearest GNU archive. METHOD Emil uses the GNU autoconf package to simplify system configuration. 1. Type ./configure 2. Modify the user definable part of the top level Makefile. 3. Type make all 4. Get testdir-2.0.4.tar.gz and unpack it in the Emil-2.0.5 source directory. It is available at the same place as the Emil distribution. 5. Type make test This will exercise the match and conversion routines. If any of them fail, this indicates that emil was not properly built and should not be used. 6. Type make install NOTE. If there exists an emil.cf in the target directory make install will not overwrite it. You should check for any new lines in the template emil.cf and insert them manually in the target emil.cf. MORE INFO See the man pages emil.man and emil.cf.man. There is some more info available at .
