Chapter 3. Installation

3.1. Basic Installation

The installation is handled by a standard automake/autoconf build system and so a basic installation can be realised as follows:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make install

3.2. Advanced Installation

For advanced users it is also possible to customise the build process by passing extra parameters from the list below into the configure script:

--with-davical

Enable building of the DaviCal backend module

--with-python

Enable building of the Python backend module

--with-apxs=<path-string>

Specify alternate apxs binary location

3.3. Python backend module Installation

If you are intending to use the Python backend module then you will need to install the backend API modules. This can be done using a standard distutils invocation such as:

sh -c "cd src/backends/python/ && python setup.py install"
