Yudit Install Page

The rpm packaged installation is very easy. Binary rpm packages my be available but I recommend that you get the source rpm and recompile. Some of the binaries may not be compatible with your system.

1. Get the the latest version of yudit-version-src.rpm .
2. Type

   rpmbuild --rebuild yudit-version-src.rpm 

   This will configure, compile and install the package. Watch out for errors as you may need some additional software packages. Check the location and name of the resulting binary rpm package.
3. Type

   rpm --install the-resulting-binary.rpm

4. Enjoy yudit, mytool, uniprint and uniconv.

From version 2.4.8 and above, there is a way to make rpm package directly from yudit-version.tar.gz.

1. Get the the latest version of yudit-version.tar.gz .
2. Type

   rpmbuild -tb yudit-version.tar.gz

3. Type

   rpm --install the-resulting-binary.rpm

Windows installation is just one click on the executable. For configuration hints type 'howto windows' in the command area.

The source package installation will be necessary if you want to install the qt and motif add-ons, or if you want to customize you installation.

1. Get the the latest version of yudit-version-src.tar.gz and untar it with

   tar xvfz yudit-version-src.tar.gz

2. If you need add-on packages (qt or motif) these should be untarred in the yudit-version directory.
3. Configure the Yudit with

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

   Watch out for error messages. You may need some additional software packages.
4. Make the full package by typing

   make

5. Install the packages typing

   make install

6. Enjoy yudit, mytool, uniprint and uniconv.
