To build this library, you may need to install some required packages on the build system. See the before_install: rules in the .travis.yml file at the top level of the repository to get an idea what packages were required to build on the travis-ci (Ubuntu-based) systems.
Once the build system is setup, the NVM Library is built using this command at the top level:
$ make
To build and run the unit tests:
$ make check
To install this library into the standard locations (/usr/lib, /usr/include, /usr/share/man), become root and:
$ make install
To install this library into other locations, you can use DESTDIR variable, e.g.:
$ make install DESTDIR=/tmp
This will install files to /tmp/lib, /tmp/include /tmp/usr/share/man.
To install a complete copy of the source tree to $(DESTDIR)/nvml:
$ make source DESTDIR=some_path
To build rpm packages on rpm-based distributions:
$ make rpm
Prerequisites: rpmbuild
To build dpkg packages on Debian-based distributions:
$ make dpkg
Prerequisites: devscripts
