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 Personal values like hostnames or your e-mail address will not be published.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.
