There are several ways to install Privoxy.
To build Privoxy from source,
autoconf and GNU make (gmake) are required. Source is available as gzipped
tar archives. For this, first unpack the source:
tar xzvf privoxy-&p-version;-src* [.tgz or .tar.gz]
cd privoxy-&p-version;
For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need the CVS
package installed first. Note CVS source is development quality,
and may not be stable, or well tested. To download CVS source:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.ijbswa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current
cd current
This will create a directory named current/, which will
contain the source tree.
Then, in either case, to build from unpacked tarball or CVS source:
autoheader
autoconf
./configure (--help to see options)
make (the make from gnu, gmake for *BSD)
su
make -n install (to see where all the files will go)
make install (to really install)
Redhat and SuSE src and binary RPMs can be built with
make redhat-dist
or
make suse-dist
from unpacked sources. You
will need to run autoconf; autoheader;
./configure
beforehand. *BSD will require gmake (from
http://gnu.org).
For binary RPM installation, and other platforms, see the user-manual
as well.
