package. We are striving to provide a useful package that works across all
platforms, and welcome your feedback.
Best regards, and thanks for your interest and help, The Apcupsd Develop-
ment Team.
Unknown System:
During the ./configure, if apcupsd does not find one of the systems for
which it has specific installation programs, it will set the Operating System
to unknown and will use the incomplete installation scripts that are in
<src>/distributions/unknown/. You will be on your own, or you can ask
the developers list (apcupsd-users at lists.sourceforge.net) for installation
instructions. This directory also contains a hint file for Linux From Scratch,
which could be helpful for other systems as well.
Windows Systems with CYGWIN Installed:
If you wish to build from the source, and if you have CYGWIN version
1.5.5 and GCC 2.95.3-5 installed, it is possible to build the Win32 version
of apcupsd. Please don’t try any other versions of CYGWIN as there were
known problems.
To date, the Win32 version has only been build on a Win98 SR2 and a
WinXP system with the above CYGWIN environment and all the available
CYGWIN tools loaded. In addition, the builds were done running under the
bash shell. As time permits, we will experiment with other environments,
and if any of you do build it from source, please let us know. The current
CYGWIN environment was loaded using the CYGWIN setup.exe program,
downloading ALL the latest binaries and installing them.
We recommend that you run the ./configure command with the following
options:
./configure \
--prefix=/apcupsd \
--sbindir=/apcupsd/bin \
--sysconfdir=/apcupsd/etc/apcupsd \
--with-pid-dir=/apcupsd/etc/apcupsd \
--mandir=/apcupsd \
--with-cgi-bin=/apcupsd/etc/apcupsd/cgi \
--enable-pthreads
