# Compilation and installation of mboxgrep
2023-03-08 14:19:20 +00:00
`mboxgrep` should compile on a modern Unix-like operating system, such as GNU/Linux or FreeBSD.
2023-03-08 14:19:20 +00:00
Autoconf and Automake are used, and the most basic compilation procedure consists of:
2023-03-08 14:19:20 +00:00
```
./configure
make
make install # root rights probably needed here, prefix with sudo in such case
```
To see the list of flags accepted by the configure script, run:
```
./configure --help
```
Optionally, `mboxgrep` can be linked with the following libraries:
- PCRE, to enable support for regular expressions compatible with Perl 5;
- zlib and bzlib, to enable support for compressed mbox folders.
