<p>This document will tell you about all the necessary steps to get going.</p>

<p>Before you start to build RRDtool, you have to decide two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Where you want to install the software.</p>
</li>
</ol>
-<p>Once you have decided. Save the two locations into environment variables.
-Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either (bash,zsh):</p>
+<p>Once you have decided. Save the two locations into environment variables.</p>
<pre>
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.27</pre>
-<p>Or if you run tcsh:</p>
-<pre>
- set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.27</pre>
-<p>If your <em>/tmp</em> is mounted with the option noexec (RHEL seems todo that) you have to choose

+<p>If your <em class="file">/tmp</em> is mounted with the option noexec (RHEL seems todo that) you have to choose
a different directory!</p>
<p>Now make sure the BUILD_DIR exists and go there:</p>
<pre>
mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR
cd $BUILD_DIR</pre>
<p>Lets first assume you already have all the necessary libraries
-pre-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
-<strong>tar</strong> and <strong>make</strong> are actually <strong>GNU tar</strong> and <strong>GNU make</strong> respectively. It
-could be that they are installed as <strong>gtar</strong> and <strong>gmake</strong> on your system.</p>

<p>Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
-<strong>configure</strong> complaining about several missing libraries. If you are on a
-Linux or *bsd system you may want to just install the missing bits from your
-software repository. When you do that, make sure you also get the <strong>-dev</strong>
-package for each library you install. Once you have the missing bits on
-board, just re-run the last line of the instructions above.</p>
-<p>But again this may have been too optimistic, and you actually have to

+<h1><a name="installing_dependencies">INSTALLING DEPENDENCIES</a></h1>
+<p>If your OS lets you install additional packages from a software repository,
+you may get away with installing the missing packages. When the packages are
+installed, run configure again and try to compile again. Below you find some
+hints on getting your OS ready for compiling RRDtool.</p>
+<p>Additions to this list are welcome. In general RRDtool should work with the
+latest versions of the libraries. The versions listed here are just what was
+current when I tested this.</p>

+<p>Just add a compiler and the gnome development package:</p>
+<pre>
+ pkg install sunstudioexpress
+ pkg install SUNWgnome-common-devel</pre>
+<p>There is a problem with <em class="file">cairo.pc</em> on OpenSolaris. It suggests that
+xrender is required for compilation with cairo. This is not true and also
+bad since OpenSolaris does not include an <em class="file">xrender.pc</em> file. Use Perl to
+fix this:</p>
+<pre>
+ perl -i~ -p -e 's/(Requires.*?)\s*xrender.*/$1/' /usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc</pre>
+<p>Make sure the RRDtool build system finds your new compiler</p>

+<h2><a name="debian___ubuntu">Debian / Ubuntu</a></h2>
+<p>Use apt-get to make sure you have all that is required. A number

+<p>
+</p>
+<h2><a name="gentoo">Gentoo</a></h2>
+<p>In Gentoo installing RRDtool is really simple you just need to <strong>emerge
+rrdtool</strong>. All dependencies will be handled automatically by the portage
+system. The only thing you should care about are USE flags, which allow you
+fine tune features RRDtool will be built with. Currently the following USE
+flags are available:</p>
+<pre>
+ doc - install .html and .txt documentation
+ into /usr/share/doc/rrdtool-1.x.xx/
+ perl - build and install perl language bindings
+ python - build and install python language bindings
+ ruby - build and install ruby language bindings
+ tcl - build and install tcl language bindings
+ rrdcgi - build and install rrdcgi</pre>
+<p>After you've decided which USE flags you need, set them either in
+<em class="file">make.conf</em> or <em class="file">/etc/portage/package.use</em> and finally run:</p>
+<pre>
+ # emerge -va rrdtool</pre>
+<p>Take a look at Gentoo handbook for further details on how to manage USE
+flags: <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2">http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2</a></p>

+<p>But again this may have been too optimistic still, and you actually have to
+compile your own copies of some of the required libraries. Things like
+libpng and zlib are pretty standard so you will probably have them on your
+system anyway. Freetype, Fontinst, Cairo, Pango may be installed, but it is
+possible that they are pretty old and thus don't live up to our
+expectations, so you may want to compile their latest versions.</p>

-<h2><a name="building_libraries">Building Libraries</a></h2>
-<p>In order to build the libraries you need a compiler on your system.
-Unfortunately compilers are not all alike. This has an effect on the CFLAGS
-you want to set. The examples below are for the popular GCC compiler suite.
-If you have an other compile you have to use the following settings:</p>
+<h2><a name="build_instructions">Build Instructions</a></h2>
+<p>Some libraries want to know where other libraries are. For this to work,
+set the following environment variable</p>
+<pre>
+ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_DIR}/lib/pkgconfig
+ export PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH</pre>
+<p>The above relies on the presence of the <em class="file">pkgconfig</em> program. Below you find instructions
+on how to compile pkgconfig.</p>
+<p>Since we are compiling libraries dynamically, they must know where to find
+each other. This is done by setting an appropriate LDFLAGS. Unfortunately,
+the syntax again differs from system to system:</p>
