16 gauche-install is a program to install and remove files. On
17 installation it allows to set ownership and permissions. This command
18 is upward compatible with BSD install(1) and can be used as a drop-in
19 replacement of it. Notably, 1st, 2nd and 3rd command-line format
20 above are compatible with BSD install.
21
22 This command is provided mainly for Gauche's extension packages to have
23 simpler installation and configuration process. Being certain that
24 gauche-install is available, those packages don't need to worry about
25 subtle differences between various install(1) commands.
26
27 The first format copies FILE on the file or in the directory named by
28 DEST. The second format copies FILE ... into the directory DIRECTORY.
29
30 The third format ensures DIRECTORY exists. If it doesn't, the command
31 creates the path to the DIRECTORY , including any intermediate ones.
32
33 The fourth format installing FILE ... to the DIRECTORY. It is more
34 convenient than the first and second formats in the following regards:
35
36 * If the destination directory does not exist, it is created (with
37 any intermediate paths as needed).
38
39 * The list of files can be empty, so that when the list of installed
40 files can be generated by configuration, you don't need to handle
41 the empty case specially in Makefile. (With BSD install format,
42 empty file list yields an error.)
43
44 * The directory prefix of files are preserved within the destination
45 directory. This is handy to install subtree of files. For example,
46 the following command installs '/usr/share/foo/main',
47 '/usr/share/foo/conf/x' and '/usr/share/foo/conf/y' with a single
48 command.
49
50 gauche-install -T /usr/share/foo main conf/x conf/y
51
52 Giving -p option suppresses this behavior and strips any directory
53 prefix like the second format. The following command line installs
54 '/usr/share/foo/main', '/usr/share/foo/x' and '/usr/share/foo/y'.
55
56 gauche-install -T /usr/share/foo -p main conf/x conf/y
57
58 The fifth format removes FILE ... in the DIRECTORY. Irrelevant
59 options are ignored, so it is handy to uninstall files just by chaning
60 -T in the fourth format to -U.
61
63 -C, --canonical-suffix
64 This is used specially to install Gauche's autogenerated Scheme
65 source by experimental precompilation. The generated file has a
66 *.sci. Upon installation, this command replaces the suffix for
67 *.scm.
68
69 -d, --directory
70 Creates directories. (3rd format only). It is only for the
71 compatibility. Using the -T option, the destination directories
72 are created automatically if missing.
73
74 -g, --group=GROUP
75 Change group of the installed file.
76
77 -h, --help
78 Show summary of options.
79
80 -m, --mode=MODE
81 Change mode of the installed file.
82
83 -n, --dry-run
84 Just prints what actions to be done.
85
86 -o, --owner=OWNER
87 Change owner of the installed file.
88
89 -p, --strip-prefix=PREFIX
90 Strip PREFIX directories from FILE(s) before installation. (4th/5th
91 format only).
92
93 --shebang=PATH
94 Adds #!PATH before the file contents. Useful to install scripts.
95
96 -S, --srcdir=directory
97 Look for files within directory; useful if VPATH is used in
98 Makefiles.
99
100 -T, --target=directory
101 Installs files to the directory, creating paths if needed. Partial
102 path of files are preserved unless -p option is given. (4th format
103 only)
104
105 -U, --uninstall=directory
106 Reverse of -T, e.g. removes files from its destination. Other
107 options (except -h and -n) are ignored.
108
109 -v, --verbose
110 Work verbosely.
111
113 gauche-install exits with status 0 on success.
114
116 gauche-package(1), install(1)

118 The program will be documented fully by the Gauche Developers´
119 Reference available via the info(1) system.
