Thread: installing and using autodoc

installing and using autodoc

From
Date:
Hi,

I'm interested in using postgresql_autodoc to document my postgres databases
on Linux, but I'm unable to find any information on how to install the
program or use it.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

I've downloaded postgresql_autodoc-1.25.tar.gz from
http://www.rbt.ca/autodoc/releasenotes.html, un-ziped it and have no idea
what to do.  Does it need to be compiled?  If so, what command do I use?  If
not, what do I do to configure the program?

Thanks in advance,
Courtenay

You might have a packaged version available - worth searching for it
perhaps.

Failing that, try the following:

cd /path/to/postgresql_autodoc
./configure
make
su -
make install

That will probably install under /usr/local/postgresql_autodoc/...

The ./configure stage will tell you if you need any other
modules/libraries etc. If you can find a package it should take care of
this for you.

Hi,
I think you question if for NOVICE group.
However,

1. Unzip:
   gunzip postgresql_autodoc-1.25.tar.gz
2. Extract from tar
tar -xvf postgresql_autodoc-1.25.tar.gz
3. Enter the directory
  cd postgresql_autodoc
3.1. !!!!!READ README file or READ INSTALL file
I presume then you should :
4. Run Configure
   ./configure
5. Run make
   make
5.1. Make SU and become root
6. Run
   make install


This is the usual procedure, but for best result always read the README
file or INSTALL file first.
