        How to install FreeWnn


[Basic Method of Installation]

1. expand FreeWnn tarball.

        $ gzcat FreeWnn-*.tar.gz | tar xvf -

        *1: You should use appropriate filename depending the FreeWnn version.

2. change directory to FreeWnn-*/

        $ cd FreeWnn-*

3. run configure

        $ ./configure

        *2: For configure options, see below or type `./configure --help'.

4. run make

        $ make

5. (If you build server,) add user named `wnn'.

        You don't need to add `wnn' if it exists. We don't login as `wnn',
        so please lock password (or equivalent state). Please refer
        to administration manual of your system to add user `wnn'.

        *3: jserver (and [ckt]server) runs as user `wnn' to reduce affect
            system and files. We install them as setuid `wnn',
            so any local user can run jserver.

6. To install commands, libraries, dictionaries and so on,
   run make install as a superuser(*4).

        $ su
        # make install

        *4: Currently, install target does not work well for other user.

7. To install manuals, you should do the following as a superuser

        # make install.man

        *5: You can ommit this if you do not want manuals installed.

[Configure options]

Typing

        $ ./configure --help

will give you list of options that configure accepts.
For example, changing install directory from the default /usr/local to
/opt/freewnn, use --prefix option:

        $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/freewnn

Below are the main configure option of FreeWnn.

  enabled by default:
  --enable-libraries    compile and install FreeWnn libraries.
  --enable-server       compile and install FreeWnn servers.
  --enable-Wnn          compile and install Wnn (Japanese).
  --enable-cWnn         compile and install cWnn (Chinese).
  --enable-kWnn         compile and install kWnn (Korean).
  --enable-traditional-layout
                        If disabled, install files in modern layout.
                        If leave enabled, install files in Wnn4 compatible
                        directories. (*6)

  disabled by default:
  --enable-ipv6         enable IPv6 feature.
  --enable-unsafe-path  allow creating files in jserver_dir (*7).
  --enable-client       compile and install uum.

  auto determine by default:
  --with-libwrap        use libwrap (in TCP wrapper) for jserver
                        to enable connection-based access control (*8).
  --enable-client-utmp  (if --enable-client specified,) uum register
                        pseudo tty information to utmp. (Except some systems,
                        it is enabled by default.)
  --enable-client-setuid[=user]
                        (if --enable-client specified,) install uum as set-uid
                        program with specified user (root by default).
                        If this option (itself) is not specified,
                        configure determine if set-uid install is needed.
  --enable-client-setgid=group
                        (if --enable-client specified,) install uum as set-gid
                        program with specified group (you must specify group).
                        If this option (itself) is not specified,
                        configure determine if set-gid install is needed.
  --enable-sub-bindir   Control if we install commands to separate sub directory
                        by language (ex. Japanese commands to $(bindir)/Wnn4).
                        If this option is not specified, it relies on
                        --enable-traditional-layout option. (Enable if
                        --enable-traditional-layout specified, disable
                        otherwise.) (*6)

*6: We intend to follow installation path like FHS (File Hierarchy
  Standard). Currently difference between specifying parameter 
  --enable-traditional-layout or not is following:

  Files                         If enabled              If disabled
  jserver, wnnstat, wnnkill     $(bindir)/*Wnn4         $(sbindir)
  Other commands                $(bindir)/*Wnn4         $(bindir)

  Note the name of sub directory "*Wnn4" depends on language (Wnn4,
  cWnn4, kWnn4). You can control whether you use "*Wnn4" by specifing
  --enable-sub-bindir option.

*7: If the option --enable-unsafe-path is enabled, the [cjkt]server
  daemons accept creation of an FreeWnn dictionary file in an arbitrary
  path, and they accept request from client of any hosts.
  This feature may be a security hole.
  Unless you used to place FreeWnn dictionary files in a path other than
  jserver_dir (lib/wnn/$LANG/dic/usr), you should not enable this feature.

*8: If you specify --enable-ipv6, libwrap need to support IPv6 also.
