1The preferred way to install wipe is to use something like stow, and put
2it in /usr/local/.
3
4Debian (dpkg):
5
6Build an rpm, then use alien to make a deb. I have removed the Debian
7directory, since (my version of) wipe is not part of Debian.
8
9Redhat (rpm):
10
111. tar jxvf wipe*.tar.bz2 || (bunzip2 -c wipe*.tar.bz2 | tar xv)
12   cd wipe*/; cp wipe.spec /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/
13   cp wipe*.tar.bz2 /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/
14
152. cd /usr/src/rpm/; rpm -ba SPECS/wipe.spec
16
173. rpm -ivh RPMS/`find . | grep -v noarch`/*wipe*.rpm
18   ls SRPMS/
19
20   to build a source rpm:
21
22   rpm --rebuild *wipe*.src.rpm
23
24Tarball:
25
26to install as root:
27
28   ./configure; make install
29
30or to install on a per user basis:
31
32   ./configure; make install_home
33
34to uninstall:
35
36   make uninstall
37or
38   make -f Makefile.in remove
39
40from ./configure --help:
41
42--enable and --with options recognized:
43  --enable-wall        compile with -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Werror
44  --enable-debug       compile with -g
45  --enable-efence      same as debug, but link the binary with the
46		       electric fence
47
48make targets:
49
50make:
51		compile standard wipe binary w/ -O3
52
53make debug:
54		same as ./configure --enable-debug
55
56make efence:
57		same as ./configure --enable-efence
58
59make install:
60		you must be root to run this. this will install all man pages
61		and put the compiled and stripped wipe binary in /usr/local/bin
62
63make install_home:
64		install wipe for personal use in ~/bin/. does not install man
65		pages.
66
