Installation of Waypipe

Note

This package has two build types. The instructions in this page will be focused on installing the Rust version as it's up-to-date and avoids complications with the installation process. The other version is made in C, a previous edition. The resulting binary is called waypipe-c. If you want that instead of the Rust version, run the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr       \
            --buildtype=release \
            -D build_c=true     \
            -D build_rs=false   \
            .. &&
ninja

Now as the root user: 

ninja install

If you want the man page, which may not match exact usage of waypipe-c, run the following as the root user: 

scdoc < ../waypipe.scd \
      > /usr/share/man/man1/waypipe.1

Install Waypipe by running the following commands: 

cargo build --release

Now, as the root user: 

install -vDm755 target/release/waypipe -t /usr/bin/

If you installed scdoc-1.11.5, install the man page as the root user: 

scdoc < waypipe.scd \
      > /usr/share/man/man1/waypipe.1
