This documentes describes how to install cinit.
Installing cinit is not a big deal, so is this document. Where possible I added a list of commands to execute at the end of each section.
Retrieve the latest source from http://unix.schottelius.org/cinit/. Then extract it, change to the source directory, adjust your OS in the file "conf/os" and type "make all".
To report success run scripts/report.compile and send the output to nico-cinit-report |at| schottelius.org. I will use this information to know how and where cinit is compiled. Personal values like hostnames or your e-mail address will not be published.
Code to install cinit:
# the program we use to retrieve the source (fetch on FreeBSD)
get=wget
# change to current version
version=0.3pre6
url=http://unix.schottelius.org/cinit/cinit-${version}.tar.bz2
# get it
$get "$url"
# exctract it
tar xvjf "cinit-${version}.tar.bz2"
# build it and report success
who=nico-cinit-report
where=schottelius.org
cd cinit-${version} && make all && \
./scripts/report.compile | mail -s "cinit: compile report" "${who}@${where}"Warning: Currently the install target is missing. Simply copy "src/cinit" to /sbin/cinit.
