<h1><a class="anchor" id="gbx_doc_installdebian">Installing GearBox on Debian Linux </a></h1><dl class="note"><dt><b>Note:</b></dt><dd>Reviewed for release 9.02</dd></dl>
<p>These are detailed instructions for installing GearBox on Debian Linux. They are known to work for a system using Debian <b>Testing</b> distribution. These instructions should also be applicable to Ubuntu/Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy). See <a class="el" href="gbx__doc__getting.html">Download and Install GearBox</a> for general guidelines.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="gbx_doc_installdebian_cmake">
CMake</a></h2>
<p>Minimum version required 2.4-patch 4 (latest tested: 2.6-patch 3).</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
# apt-get install cmake
</pre></div><h2><a class="anchor" id="gbx_doc_installdebian_gearbox">
GearBox</a></h2>
<dl class="user"><dt><b>Basic</b></dt><dd></dd></dl>
<p>Build and install GearBox distribution.</p>
<ul>
<li>Download <a class="el" href="gbx__doc__getting.html#gbx_doc_getting_download">GearBox source</a> archive and un-tar it. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
$ tar -xzf gearbox-x.x.x.tar.gz
$ cd gearbox
</pre></div></li>
<li>Configure (note the dot after cmake). The default installation directory is <code>/usr/local</code>. (See below on how to customize this). <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
$ cmake .
</pre></div></li>
<li>Compile, and install. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
$ make
# make install
# ldconfig
</pre></div></li>
</ul>
<p>The resultant installation tree is as follows: </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
[INSTALL-DIR]
include
gearbox
mylib
mylib.h
yourlib
yourlib.h
lib
gearbox
libmylib.so
libyourlib.so
</pre></div><dl class="user"><dt><b>Installation Directory</b></dt><dd></dd></dl>
<p>The default installation directory is <code>/usr/local</code>. There are two options for specifying a custom install directory:</p>
<ul>
<li>Option 1. With <code>cmake</code>. This variable is stored in CMake cache so you don't have to set this variable every time: only the first time you run cmake and when you want to change it. For example: <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
$ cmake -DGEARBOX_INSTALL=$HOME/gearbox .
</pre></div> or <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
$ cmake -DGEARBOX_INSTALL=/opt/gearbox-[VERSION] .
</pre></div></li>
<li>Option 2. If you've changed your mind about the installation directory, you can change it at any time using <code>ccmake</code> tool. <div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
$ ccmake .
</pre></div> Scroll down to <code>GEARBOX_INSTALL</code> variable, hit ENTER to edit and type in the new installation directory. When finished, hit ENTER again, then type "c" for [c]onfigure and "g" for [g]enerate. From now on, the new installation dir will be used.</li>
</ul>
<p>That's it! We are done. </p>
