WordNet 3.0 Installation Instructions
|
|
|
|
Beginning with Version 2.1, we have changed the Unix package to a GNU
|
|
Autotools package. With Autotools, a system independent installation
|
|
process builds and installs WordNet on your specific platform. Read
|
|
both the `Basic Installation' and `WordNet Installation' sections
|
|
below before attempting to build and install WordNet.
|
|
|
|
See the `Running WordNet' section for important information concerning
|
|
environment variables and the commands to run WordNet.
|
|
|
|
The WordNet browser makes use of the open source Tcl and Tk
|
|
packages. Many systems come with either or both pre-installed. If
|
|
your system doesn't (some systems have Tcl installed, but not Tk)
|
|
Tcl/Tk can be downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
Linux - http://www.tcl.tk/
|
|
|
|
OS X - http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ (note that 10.4 comes with
|
|
Tcl/Tk preinstalled, but earlier versions may not)
|
|
|
|
Some Linux systems come with the Tcl/Tk libraries installed, but not
|
|
all the header files. If your build fails due to missing Tk headers, a
|
|
subset that may be sufficient on your system can be found in the
|
|
"include/tk" directory. Copy the header files to the "include" directory
|
|
and try the make again. If it fails, you should download and install
|
|
a full copy of Tcl and/or Tk from the site above.
|
|
|
|
Tcl and Tk must be installed BEFORE you build and install WordNet. You
|
|
must also have a C compiler before installing Tcl/Tk or WordNet.
|
|
WordNet has been built and tested with the GNU gcc compiler. This is
|
|
pre-installed on most Unix systems, and can be downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
http://gcc.gnu.org/
|
|
|
|
Basic Installation
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
********************************************************************
|
|
These are generic installation instructions. Details specific to
|
|
WordNet follow in the `WordNet Installation' section below.
|
|
********************************************************************
|
|
|
|
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
|
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
|
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
|
|
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
|
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
|
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
|
|
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
|
|
debugging `configure').
|
|
|
|
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
|
|
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
|
|
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
|
|
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
|
|
cache files.)
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
|
|
|
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
|
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
|
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
|
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
|
|
`configure' itself.
|
|
|
|
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
|
|
messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
|
|
|
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
|
|
|
3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
|
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
|
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
|
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
|
|
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
|
|
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
|
|
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
|
|
with the distribution.
|
|
|
|
Compilers and Options
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
|
the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help'
|
|
for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
|
|
|
|
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
|
|
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
|
|
is an example:
|
|
|
|
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
|
|
|
|
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
|
|
|
|
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
|
|
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
|
|
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
|
|
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
|
|
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
|
|
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
|
|
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
|
|
|
|
If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
|
|
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
|
|
time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
|
|
package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
|
|
for another architecture.
|
|
|
|
Installation Names
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
|
|
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
|
|
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
|
|
option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
|
|
|
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
|
|
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
|
|
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
|
|
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
|
|
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
|
|
|
|
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
|
|
options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
|
|
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
|
|
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
|
|
|
|
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
|
|
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
|
|
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
|
|
|
|
Optional Features
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
|
|
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
|
|
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
|
|
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
|
|
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
|
|
package recognizes.
|
|
|
|
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
|
|
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
|
|
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
|
|
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
|
|
|
|
Specifying the System Type
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
|
|
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
|
|
will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
|
|
_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
|
|
a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
|
|
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
|
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
|
|
|
|
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
|
|
|
|
OS KERNEL-OS
|
|
|
|
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
|
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
|
|
need to know the machine type.
|
|
|
|
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
|
|
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
|
|
produce code for.
|
|
|
|
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
|
|
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
|
|
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
|
|
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
|
|
|
|
Sharing Defaults
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
|
|
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
|
|
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
|
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
|
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
|
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
|
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
|
|
|
Defining Variables
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
|
|
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
|
|
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
|
|
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
|
|
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
|
|
|
|
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
|
|
|
|
will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
|
|
overridden in the site shell script).
|
|
|
|
`configure' Invocation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
|
|
operates.
|
|
|
|
`--help'
|
|
`-h'
|
|
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
|
|
|
|
`--version'
|
|
`-V'
|
|
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
|
script, and exit.
|
|
|
|
`--cache-file=FILE'
|
|
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
|
|
traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
|
|
disable caching.
|
|
|
|
`--config-cache'
|
|
`-C'
|
|
Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
|
|
|
|
`--quiet'
|
|
`--silent'
|
|
`-q'
|
|
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
|
|
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
|
|
messages will still be shown).
|
|
|
|
`--srcdir=DIR'
|
|
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
|
|
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
|
|
|
|
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
|
|
`configure --help' for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WordNet Installation
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
By default, WordNet is installed in `/usr/local/WordNet-3.0'. You
|
|
must usually be the `root' user to install something here. If you
|
|
choose to install WordNet in a different location, you must use the
|
|
`--prefix=' option to `configure' and specify an installation
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
WordNet relies on the Tcl/Tk package, which you must have installed on
|
|
your system prior to building the WordNet package. If you have
|
|
installed Tcl/Tk in a non-standard location, you must specify the
|
|
`--with-tcl=' and `--with-tk=' options to `configure' and specify the
|
|
directory that contains the `tclConfig.sh' and `tkConfig.sh'
|
|
configuration scripts, respectively. (Note that these are usually the
|
|
same directories.)
|
|
|
|
If you're running OS X and installed the Aqua Tcl/Tk package from the
|
|
web site above, use the following settings:
|
|
|
|
--with-tcl=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework
|
|
--with-tk=/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework
|
|
|
|
If `configure' can't find either `tclConfig.sh' or `tkConfig.sh', it
|
|
will print an error and stop processing.
|
|
|
|
After successfully running `configure', you must then build and
|
|
install WordNet using these commands:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Running WordNet
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
In order to run WordNet, you must set your PATH variable to include
|
|
the directory that contains the WordNet binraries. By default, WordNet
|
|
is installed in `/usr/local/WordNet-3.0'.
|
|
|
|
Several other environment variables may need to be set in order to
|
|
run WordNet on your system:
|
|
|
|
PATH - should include either `/usr/local/WordNet-3.0/bin' or the path
|
|
you specified with the `--prefix=' option to `configure', unless you
|
|
installed WordNet in a directory that is already in your path.
|
|
|
|
WNHOME - if you did not install in the default location, you must set
|
|
this environment variable to the value you specified on the `prefix='
|
|
option. This tells the WordNet browser where to find the database files.
|
|
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH - may need to be set to the location of the Tcl/Tk
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
TK_LIBRARY - on OS X, may need to be set to the directory that
|
|
contains the `tk.tcl' file (usually a subidrectory of where the Tk
|
|
library is installed).
|
|
|
|
The command `wnb' starts the WordNet browser application. If any
|
|
of the above variables is not set, or not set properly, an error will
|
|
occur when you run `wnb'.
|
|
|
|
The command line interface is run with the `wn' command. The `PATH' and
|
|
`WNHOME' environment variables must also be set.
|
|
|
