Cascabel 1.2 REQUIREMENTS * Python 2.0 or later. * Also supports PHP 4.1. * A database management system, currently limited to MySQL 3.23.32 or later. * A Python Database API 2.0-compliant database interface module, currently limited to MySQLdb. * The mxDateTime Python module. INSTALLATION NOTES See the file INSTALL for basic (and generic) building and installation instructions. ./configure accepts the following extra options: --with-cascabellibdir=DIR Cascabel lib dir [PREFIX/share/lib/cascabel] * Directory for Python modules and scripts. Architecture-independent and sharable (and should be shared; it will contain password, which has database access info. --with-cascabeluser=USER User owning Cascabel-private files [USER] * The user which will own the libraries and so forth. A set-uid wrapper (cascabelwrapper) will be used so that the scripts are run as this user. The default is the user running configure. THE CASCABEL USER SHOULD NOT BE root! --with-defaultdomain=DOMAIN Mail domain---everything after the '@' None * The default domain added to mail addresses seen by Cascabel. Example and migration-path interfaces are found elsewhere; they should be configured with identical arguments, particularly --with-cascabellibdir and --libexecdir. Cascabel puts the setuid wrapper (and the links to it) in the libexecdir directory and the remainder (mostly Python modules and scripts) in the cascabellibdir (PREFIX/share/lib/cascabel/...). The latter can be shared between different platforms. Use "make install" to install everything. Since a large part of Cascabel is architecture-independent, it only needs to be done on one platform, if the independent bits can be shared. On the remaining platforms, use "make install-exec" to install the binary setuid wrapper and make the links to it from the scripts' names in an architecture-dependent directory. Use "make install-data" to install the architecture-independent bits, if needed. LICENSE Cascabel is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
