Debian packages are included in Debian unstable (sid).

• GCC/G++ 2.95.2 or higher. Available from your distribution or GCC Homepage. You may try a different compiler than g++, but in that case, expect to run into trouble. In this case you best subscribe to the mailing list. I am happy to help efforts of porting libSigCX to a new compiler.
• You also need libsigc++, which libSigCX is built upon. Note that you need the at least version 1.1.13. You can use the CVS or get a tarball from its SF file page.
• For thread support, you currently have two options: POSIX Threads (available on most systems, preinstalled on e.g. Linux) or GLib Threads. The libsigcx configure script will detect the above, if installed, and will chose POSIX Threads over GLib.

• GNU libtool
• GNU autoconf
• GNU automake

After you are sure you have installed all these tools, set the source directory up by runnning autogen.sh:

cd libsigcx && ./autogen.sh

Now you should be able to proceed with the next section.

./configure configuration-args
make
make install # do this as root


The only thing you should pay attention to is using the right configure flags.
You might want to use '--enable-static' if you need a static library and '--enable-debug' for debugging symbols. See './configure --help' for more options.
Here is an example:

tar -xzf libsigcx-0.6.4.tar.gz
cd libsigcx-0.6.4
./configure --enable-debug
make
make install # do this as root


If you encounter any problems during install or have other questions, please feel free to send me a mail, or rather use the mailing list.
