The purpose of libfixposix is to offer replacements for parts of POSIX

whose behaviour is inconsistent across *NIX flavours.

* Compilation

If you've downloaded this library through git, you'll first need to

generate the ./configure script; in order to do that you need to have

at least autoconf-2.67, automake-1.10, libtool-2.2.6b, pkg-config and check (for

the test suite: see http://check.sf.net) then run this inside the top

directory:

> autoreconf -i -f

For best results use a dedicated build directory instead of running

the configure script directly in the source tree:

> mkdir build ; cd build

> ../libfixposix/configure

> make

> make install

On Linux, you might need to run «ldconfig» as superuser after

installing, otherwise the *nix linker won't be able to find the library

* Installation through distro repositories

For a certain number of Linux distributions, there are officially

supported repositories.

You can find the instructions to configure the binary repository at

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:sionescu&package=libfixposix.

Just click on your distribution, if present.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.iolib.devel/422 also has a set of

older instructions about installing on Debian-based distros.
