Install libpaper by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-static \ --enable-relocatable \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libpaper-2.1.1 && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-relocatable
: This option is
needed to run the tests.
The paper size is automatically determined from the system
locale; see LC_PAPER
in locale(7)
. If you want to override it, create a
papersize
file in the user
configuration directory. For example:
mkdir -pv ~/.config && echo "a4" > ~/.config/papersize
If you want to override the paper size globally (for all users),
set up the PAPERSIZE
environment
variable. For example:
echo "PAPERSIZE=a4" > /etc/profile.d/libpaper.sh
You may use a different paper size, such as “letter
”.
