Installation instructions for YAWMPPP. Upgrading ? ----------- If so, just follow the usual INSTALL instructions, run yawmppp.pref and click Ok or Apply. It will not damage your previous versions' ISP entries or log, and will write the new pppd command line to your ~/.yawmppp scripts. Upgrading from 1.x.x to 2.x.x: ------------------------------ The configuration files of 2.x.x are placed separated from 1.x.x files. You are can uninstall 1.x.x before installing 2.x.x, but it isn't necessary. (to do so, unpack the 1.x.x tar.gz, configure and make uninstall). Just notice that if you chmod'ed the files in ~/.yawmppp to prevent yawmppp from overwriting your manual changes, the new version will not be able to add new data to them, ok ? NOTE! -------------------------------------------------------------- Installing this program requires root privileges, ask your local system/network administrator kindly if she/he wants to install this software for you ;-) you need root access for installation. What the installation will do ---------------------------------------------------------- The installation requires a program be copied to /etc/ppp: /etc/ppp/yagetmodemspeed and will also copy an icon to /usr/local/share/icons the yawmppp binaries will be installed in /usr/local/bin (you can change the /usr/local prefix, see below) /usr/local/bin/yawmppp /usr/local/bin/yawmppp.pref /usr/local/bin/yawmppp.log the documentation will be installed in /usr/local/doc/yawmppp- and yawmppp's man page will be placed in /usr/local/man/man1 Installation -------------------------------------------------------------- 1) % tar zxvf yawmppp-2.x.x.tar.gz 2) % cd yawmppp-2.x.x 3) % ./configure 4) % make 5) % su 6) # make install As non-privileged user: 7) % yawmppp & (try 'yawmppp -h &' for help) If you have no ISP entries configured you'll see the yawmppp.pref GUI. FreeBSD note: if configure fails to find the X11 includes you may have to use the --with-x-includes=DIR option, type "configure --help" for information. Extras -------------------------------------------------------------- Changing the prefix: if you want the binaries to be installed somewhere else than /usr/local, do a ./configure --prefix=/where/I/want/the/prefix/to/be in the 3) step above.
