# How to compile and install mboxgrep
|
|
|
|
mboxgrep should compile on a modern Unix-like operating system, such as GNU/Linux or FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
It uses autoconf, so the most basic compilation procedure consists of:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./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.
