2. Installation

The IDserver distribution includes source code and this documentation.

2.1 How to obtain IDserver

You can download a copy of the distribution file at the author's downloads web page. Note that a KDE graphical interface, KIDserver, is also available from the same site.

2.2 Requirements

The only functions IDserver uses are standard glibc functions, which should be present on any Unix/Linux system. You can look in the source file, main.c, to see what header files are referenced.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install IDserver on your system, type the following in the base directory of the IDserver distribution (the directory where you unzipped and untarred the distribution file):

% ./configure
% make
% make install

Since IDserver uses autoconf you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the the author at peterdonis@alum.mit.edu.
