This will be automatically +enabled if the epkg or mkencap programs are detected on the system, +but can be overridden by the --disable-encap option. + +When building an Encap package, the configure script will automatically +adjust the installation prefix to use an appropriate Encap package +directory. It does this using a heuristic algorithm which examines the +values of the ${ENCAP_SOURCE} and ${ENCAP_TARGET} environment variables +and the argument to configure's --prefix option. + +If mkencap was detected on the system, it will be automatically run during +"make install". By default, epkg will also be run, but this can be +inhibited with the --disable-epkg-install configure option. + +For information on the Encap package management system, see the WSG +Encap Archive: + + http://www.encap.org/ + + +zlib Support +------------ + +The configure script will attempt to find the zlib library on your system +for use with the libtar driver program. The zlib package is available from: + + http://www.gzip.org/zlib/ + +If zlib is installed on your system, but you do not wish to use it, +specify the --without-zlib option when you invoke configure. + + +More Information +---------------- + +For documentation of the libtar API, see the enclosed manpages. For more +information on the libtar package, see: + + http://www-dev.cites.uiuc.edu/libtar/ + +Source code for the latest version of libtar will be available there, as +well as Encap binary distributions for many common platforms. + + +Supported Platforms +------------------- + +I develop and test libtar on the following platforms: + + AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 + HP-UX 11.00 + IRIX 6.5 + RedHat Linux 7.2 + Solaris 8 and 9 + +It should also build on the following platforms, but I do not actively +support them: + + AIX 3.2.5 + AIX 4.2.1 + Cygwin + FreeBSD + HP-UX 10.20 + Linux/libc5 + OpenBSD + Solaris 2.5 + Solaris 2.6 + Solaris 7 + +If you successfully build libtar on another platform, please email me a +patch and/or configuration information. + + +Compatibility Code +------------------ + +libtar depends on some library calls which are not available or not +usable on some platforms. To accomodate these systems, I've included +a version of these calls in the compat subdirectory. + +I've slightly modified these functions for integration into this source +tree, but the functionality has not been modified from the original +source. Please note that while this code should work for you, I didn't +write it, so please don't send me bug reports on it. + + +Author +------ + +Feedback and bug reports are welcome. + +Mark D.
