lib3270 Build and Install Instructions

To build lib3270, type: 
    ./configure
    make
To install lib3270 in the default install directory (/usr/local/lib), type: 
    make install

Notes for Solaris 2.x and Sun's C Compiler

Do not use Sun's BSD-compatibility compiler, /usr/ucb/cc. This is good advice in general, but in particular, lib3270 will not build with it. You should have a directory containing gcc (recommended) or Sun's standard compiler in your $PATH ahead of /usr/ucb.

Summary of configure Options

The lib3270 configure script accepts the following options:
 
--help Print a help message.
--prefix=prefix Install architecture-independent files under prefix (defaults to /usr/local)
--exec-prefix=eprefix Install architecture-dependent files (executables) under eprefix (defaults to same as prefix)
--bindir=dir Install user executables (s3270, x3270if) in dir (defaults to eprefix/bin)
--sysconfdir=dir Install configuration files (character sets) in dir/x3270 (defaults to prefix/etc).
--disable-ansi Leave out NVT (ANSI) support.
Note that NVT support is required for TN3270E support.
--disable-apl Leave out APL character support.
--disable-ft Leave out IND$FILE file transfer support.
--disable-local-process Leave out local process (connecting to "-e shell_command") support.
This will be automatically disabled if the local system does not support the forkpty() library call.
--disable-tn3270e Leave out TN3270E support.
--disable-trace Leave out tracing support.

Leaving out all of the optional features will result in a smaller binary.
