libsass can be built and linked as a static or as a shared library. The default is static. To change it you can set the BUILD environment variable:
export BUILD="shared"
Alternatively you can also define it directly when calling make:
BUILD="shared" make ...
make -C libsass -j5
$ ls libsass/lib libsass.a libsass.so
We recommend to use autotools to install libsass onto the
system, since that brings all the benefits of using libtools as the main install method.
If you still want to install libsass via the makefile, you need to make sure that gnu
install utility (or compatible) is installed on your system.
yum install coreutils # RedHat Linux emerge -a coreutils # Gentoo Linux pkgin install coreutils # SmartOS
You can set the install location by setting PREFIX
PREFIX="/opt/local" make install
# Let build know library location export SASS_LIBSASS_PATH="`pwd`/libsass" # Invokes the sassc makefile make -C libsass -j5 sassc
# needs ruby available # also gem install minitest make -C libsass -j5 test_build
