INSTALL

USING THE BINARY

The "filelogger" binary in the parent directory is a 64-bit binary compiled on a Linux
system. If you have a 64-bit system, chances are it will work. Simply copy it into your
directory of choice and run it on the command line.

COMPILING

Util-linux
----------
grab yourself a copy of util-linux_2.20.1.orig.tar.gz
put it in your home directory and unpack it
cd ~/util-linux-2.20.1 && ./configure && make

Core-utils
----------
Now you need some files - headers and binaries - from the coreutils
package. Which files you specifically need are to be found in the
filelogger package under the util-linux-2.20.1/include/ directory and 
the util-linux-2.20.1/misc-utils/ directory. You will need everything
in these two directories. There are two different ways you can obtain 
these files, the simplest being #1:

1. simply use the files provided in the filelogger package as described
above

2. compile them yourself from the coreutils-8.9.tar.gz package.
Download this package, put it anywhere you want,
unpack it, then cd into this directory and ./configure
&& make

Now place the files appropriately into your ~/util-linux-2.20.1/include/
and ~/util-linux-2.20.1/misc-utils/ directories.

* include/ contains some header files from coreutils 

* misc-utils/ contains a modified Makefile, binary .o files from 
	  coreutils, and logger.c (which is a copy of the latest stable 
	  filelogger.c)

Be sure to copy the Makefile and logger.c from the filelogger package into
your ~/util-linux-2.20.1/misc-utils/ directory. The modified Makefile uses
the extra .o files from coreutils.

Now, cd ~/util-linux-2.20.1/misc-utils/ && make logger

You'll see some compiler warnings which can be ignored. As long "make" exits
without errors (as evidenced by echo $? ) you are okay. Rename the new "logger"
binary to "filelogger" so you don't get confused with the default system logger.
