Installation and uninstallation

The latest version of the binaries and the source code can be obtained from the C-Munipack project’s home page: http://c-munipack.sourceforge.net/. Choose the binary or source package according to your platform and download it.

Using the installer on MS Windows

Download the installer (.exe file) from the project’s home page and execute it. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard. By default, the files are installed to the Program Files folder. The software itself doesn’t require the write access to the installation path and it doesn’t read or modify the windows registry. All configuration files and other temporary files are stored in user’s Application Data folder.

To uninstall the software open your Control Panel, then open the Add/Remove programs tool. Select the C-Munipack 1.3 item and click on a Remove button.

Compiling the source code on Unix based systems

Download the source code archive to your computer and unpack it using the tar command. The software comes with the GNU automake configuration scripts.

First, run the configure script that is stored in the source’s root directory. The script takes a while to finish. It automatically checks the dependencies and determines which features your system has or has not and makes a set of Makefiles that in turn are called to build and install the binaries. Here is the list of most frequently used command-line options that the script accepts.

--help

Print the complete set of command-line options.

--prefix=path
