To build:

 $ ./configure

 $ make

To install call:

 $ make install

This will most likely need superuser privilege. The executable is placed

in the /usr/local/bin directory while the man page is placed in the

/usr/local/man/man8 directory. The install directory are controlled by

the PREFIX variable in the Makefile. To install executable in the /usr/bin

directory use './configure --prefix=/usr ' instead.

To uninstall the executable and man page call:

 $ make uninstall

To clean out object and executable files from the working directory call:

 $ make clean

To clean out prior to making a tarball (so ./configure needs to be run

on the target system):

 $ make distclean

Rpms are also available. A lsscsi.spec file is included in the tarball

to facilitate building rpms. One way of doing this on a RedHat system

is to place the tarball in the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE directory and

the spec file in the /usr/src/redhat/SPEC directory. Then execute

'rpmbuild -ba lsscsi.spec' from the "SPEC" directory. [Specifying the

target may help (e.g. 'rpmbuild --target=i386 -ba lsscsi.spec') . If

successful that will deposit the binary rpm in the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

directory and the source rpm in the /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS directory.

Building an rpm on Suse and Mandrake is similar (although they use their

names rather than "redhat" in the above paths).

To build a Linux debian "deb" (binary) package, first untar the tarball,

then change directory to the top level within the lsscsi source. Then:

 # chmod +x debian/rules

 # dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot

The binary deb packages will be placed in the parent directory (of

the lsscsi source directory) if all goes well.

There is a build_debian.sh script in the tarball's top level directory

that does the above.
