HOWTO

# ht://Dig
# ========
# Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2's 'htdig' packages all
# include version 3.1.6
#
# Slackware 12.0, .1, .2, 13.0, .1, .37, 14.0, .1, .2 all include version
# 3.2.0b6

# ht://Dig version 3.1.6 was released 2002-02-01
# ht://Dig version 3.2.0b6 was released 2004-06-16
# There have been no further releases, but there is a fork of ht://Dig
# called hl://Dig

# Prerequisites:
# If the download URL below does not work, look here for alternates:
# http://htdig.sourceforge.net/where.html

# ht://Dig 3.2.0b6
# ================
# Prerequisites:
# Perl
# gunzip
# rrdtool (optional)
# zlib
# sendmail
# OpenSSL (optional)

# Get it
cd
test -f installed/htdig-3.2.0b6.tar.gz && mv installed/htdig-3.2.0b6.tar.gz .
test ! -f htdig-3.2.0b6.tar.gz &&
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/htdig/htdig-3.2.0b6.tar.gz

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "htdig-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/htdig-3.2.0b6.tar.gz
cd htdig-3.2.0b6
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Get a patch from Slackware to allow building the 2004 software with 2019
# build tools
wget -nc ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware64-current/source/n/\
htdig/htdig-3.2.0b6.diff.gz &&
zcat htdig-3.2.0b6.diff.gz | patch -p0

# There are also patches available here if you'd like to peruse through
# them:
# https://sourceforge.net/p/htdig/patches/
# https://packages.debian.org/stretch/htdig

# Read ./README, but keep in mind that anywhere that www.htdig.org is
# referenced, replace that with htdig.sourceforge.net
cat README | sed 's/www\.htdig\.org/htdig.sourceforge.net/' | less

# If upgrading (from something > 15 years old), read the ChangeLog
less ./ChangeLog

# HTML documentation is in ./htdoc/
lynx ./htdoc/contents.html

# The default prefix is /opt/www
# If you want something else like /usr/local/htdig, use
# --prefix=/usr/local/htdig
#
# Same goes for --with-search-dir
# The default there is /opt/www/htdocs/htdig

# You can either symlink (if Apache allows them there) the ht://Dig images
# from /opt/www/htdocs/htdig to your desired location under
# /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/... or use
# --with-image-dir=/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/...
# to put them where you need them directly

# Similar situation for --with-cgi-bin-dir=/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin

# If you want OpenSSL, and have it installed in /usr or /usr/local, with
# libraries in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, or something covered by
# /etc/ld.so.conf, you should be able to pass --with-ssl to configure
#
# If you have it installed under the /usr/local/ssl prefix, use
# --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl and if it can not find lib64 or anything
# like that, you may need to use LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib64

# If you want to match the paths that Slackware uses in it's package,
# look here:
# ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware64-14.2/source/n/htdig/htdig.SlackBuild

# Configure the build
LIBDIR=/opt/www/lib
test $(uname -m) = 'x86_64' && LIBDIR=/opt/www/lib64
./configure --libdir=${LIBDIR} --mandir=/usr/man --with-ssl \
--with-cgi-bin-dir=/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin
unset LIBDIR

# Build it
make

# Become root to install it
su

# If you're going to remove the Slackware package next, back up your files,
# especially DB files in /var/lib/htdig
# After removing the package, you may still have a /var/lib/htdig and a
# /etc/htdig

# Remove the Slackware package, if there is one
test -x /sbin/removepkg && /sbin/removepkg htdig

# Install it
make install

# Add /opt/www/bin to your PATH
echo '#!/bin/sh' > /etc/profile.d/htdig.sh
echo 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/www/bin' >> /etc/profile.d/htdig.sh

# Become your non-root user again
exit

# Save the source for later

# ht://Dig 3.1.6
# ==============
# Prerequisites:
# gzip
# Adobe Acrobat Reader (optional)
# sendmail
# autoconf and automake (optional; for the first patch)

# Get it

# Patch htnotify to prevent an endless loop while building the db(s):

# There are other patches here if you'd like to peruse through them:

# The server that I use ht://Dig on has apache 1.x installed which is under
# /usr/local/apache (if it was apache 2.x, it would be /usr/local/apache2).
# I have most of the site's images installed under htdocs/images/, so I tell
# ht://Dig to put the images there.

# If you still use GCC 2.x for some reason (ie. you are a lousy SysAdmin
# <g>), remove the CPPFLAGS part below.

CPPFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/htdig \
  --with-cgi-bin-dir=/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin \
  --with-image-dir=/usr/local/apache/htdocs/images \
  --with-search-dir=/usr/local/htdig
make

# I don't think this is the case any more, but older versions of KDE required
# ht://Dig and Slackware's KDE was set to use Slackware's ht://Dig (in
# /opt/www), so you may want to just leave that one installed if you've got
# it.  If you don't have KDE installed, or you know that KDE isn't using it,
# run 'removepkg htdig' to uninstall the old one.

su -c "make install"

# Save the source for later
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/htdig-*.tar.*
