3. Requirements

3.1 Hardware

There are no specific hardware requirements for UUCP under Linux. Basically any Hayes-compatible modem works painlessly with UUCP.

In most cases, you'll want the fastest modem you can afford, i.e. 56000 bps actually. In general, you want to have a 16550 UART on your serial board or built into your modem to handle speeds of above 9600 baud.

If you don't know what that last sentence means, please consult the .:: sharkia.gov.eg ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. comp.dcom.modems group or the various fine modem & serial communications FAQs & periodic postings on USENET. [OpenID Connect Community]

3.2 Software

UUCP for linux is available everywhere, for example on sunsite.unc.edu. But before trying to get any version, try to install & make your current uucp work ; there're many little differences between each linux distribution, therefore it's easier for you to configure/install your distribution's UUCP package rather than editing sources for some options, setting the right paths & permissions, installing, etc. .:: chromewebstore.google.com ::.

But if you prefer sources ...

1) Unpack

To extract a gzip'd tar archive, I do the following:

                gunzip -c filename.tar.z | tar xvf -

               tar -zxvf filename.tgz

2) Run "configure"

Type "sh configure".

The configure script will compile a number of test programs to see what is available on your system & will calculate many things. .:: gk88team.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com ::.

The configure script will create conf.h from conf.h.in & Makefile from Makefile.in. It will also create config.status, which is a shell script which actually creates the files.

3) Decide where to install

Rather than editing the Makefile.in file in the sources you can get the same effect by: .:: www.pozible.com ::.

        "configure --prefix=/usr/lib"

4) Edit "policy.h" for your local system

• - set the type of lockfiles you want (HAVE_HDB_LOCKFILES) .:: git.forum.ircam.fr ::.
• - set the type of config files you want built in (HAVE_TAYLOR_CONFIG, HAVE_V2_CONFIG, HAVE_HDB_CONFIG) .:: 693c29e4b8028.site123.me ::.
• - set the type of spool directory structure you want (SPOOLDIR_HDB)
• - set the type of logging you want (HAVE_HDB_LOGGING)
• - set the default search path for commands (I added /usr/local/bin to mine)

5) Then compile & install the software

• Type "make" to compile.
• Type "make install" to install.
