GAUCHE-INSTALL(1)		 Gauche Commands	       GAUCHE-INSTALL(1)

NAME
     gauche-install - install files and set attributes

SYNOPSIS
       1)* gauche-install [OPTION...] FILE DEST
       2)* gauche-install [OPTION...] FILE... DIRECTORY
       3)* gauche-install -d [OPTION...] DIRECTORY...
       4)  gauche-install -T DIRECTORY [OPTION...] FILE...
       5)  gauche-install -U DIRECTORY [OPTION...] FILE...

DESCRIPTION
     gauche-install  is  a program to install and remove files.  On installation
     it allows to set ownership and permissions.  This command is upward compat-
     ible with BSD install(1) and can be used as a drop-in  replacement  of  it.
     Notably, 1st, 2nd and 3rd command-line format above are compatible with BSD
     install.

     This  command  is	provided  mainly for Gauche's extension packages to have
     simpler  installation  and  configuration	process.    Being  certain  that
     gauche-install  is available, those packages don't need to worry about sub-
     tle differences between various install(1) commands.

     The first format copies FILE on the file or in the directory named by DEST.
     The second format copies FILE ...	into the directory DIRECTORY.

     The third format ensures DIRECTORY exists.  If it doesn't, the command cre-
     ates the path to the DIRECTORY , including any intermediate ones.

     The fourth format installing FILE ...  to the DIRECTORY.  It is more conve-
     nient than the first and second formats in the following regards:

	* If the destination directory does not exist, it is created  (with  any
	intermediate paths as needed).

	*  The	list  of  files can be empty, so that when the list of installed
	files can be generated by configuration, you don't need  to  handle  the
	empty  case specially in Makefile.  (With BSD install format, empty file
	list yields an error.)

	* The directory prefix of files are preserved within the destination di-
	rectory.  This is handy to install subtree of files.  For  example,  the
	following	  command	  installs	  '/usr/share/foo/main',
	'/usr/share/foo/conf/x' and '/usr/share/foo/conf/y' with a  single  com-
	mand.

	  gauche-install -T /usr/share/foo main conf/x conf/y

	Giving	-p option suppresses this behavior and strips any directory pre-
	fix like  the  second  format.	 The  following  command  line	installs
	'/usr/share/foo/main', '/usr/share/foo/x' and '/usr/share/foo/y'.

	  gauche-install -T /usr/share/foo -p main conf/x conf/y

     The  fifth  format  removes FILE ...  in the DIRECTORY.  Irrelevant options
     are ignored, so it is handy to uninstall files just by chaning  -T  in  the
     fourth format to -U.

OPTIONS
     -C, --canonical-suffix
	 This  is used specially to install Gauche's autogenerated Scheme source
	 by experimental precompilation.  The generated file has a *.sci.   Upon
	 installation, this command replaces the suffix for *.scm.

     -d, --directory
	 Creates directories. (3rd format only).  It is only for the compatibil-
	 ity.	Using the -T option, the destination directories are created au-
	 tomatically if missing.

     -g, --group=GROUP
	 Change group of the installed file.

     -h, --help
	 Show summary of options.

     -m, --mode=MODE
	 Change mode of the installed file.

     -n, --dry-run
	 Just prints what actions to be done.

     -o, --owner=OWNER
	 Change owner of the installed file.

     -p, --strip-prefix=PREFIX
	 Strip PREFIX directories from	FILE(s)  before  installation.	(4th/5th
	 format only).

     --shebang=PATH
	 Adds #!PATH before the file contents. Useful to install scripts.

     -S, --srcdir=directory
	 Look for files within directory; useful if VPATH is used in Makefiles.

     -T, --target=directory
	 Installs  files  to  the  directory, creating paths if needed.  Partial
	 path of files are preserved unless -p option  is  given.   (4th  format
	 only)

     -U, --uninstall=directory
	 Reverse  of -T, e.g. removes files from its destination.  Other options
	 (except -h and -n) are ignored.

     -v, --verbose
	 Work verbosely.

DIAGNOSTICS
     gauche-install exits with status 0 on success.
