Compilation and installation

The compressed WebPublish archive file must be un-compressed before you can compile the source code. The command to un-compress the archive file is the tar command. The specific command to un-compress the WebPublish archive file is:

tar zxvf webpublish-0.1.0.tar.gz

This command will extract the source code files from the archive file and store them in their own directory called ./webpublish-0.1.0. In order to compile and install WebPublish on your system, change to the new directory ./webpublish-0.1.0 and type the following in the base directory of the WebPublish distribution:

./configure && make

Enter the su command to gain root privileges and enter the final command to install the software on your system.

make install

Since WebPublish uses autoconf you should not have trouble compiling it. If you have problems, please report them to the author at bug-webpublish@gnu.org.
