Get the sources
# using git is preferred
git clone https://github.com/sass/libsass.git
# only needed for sassc and/or testsuite
git clone https://github.com/sass/sassc.git libsass/sassc

Prerequisites
In order to run autotools you need a few tools installed on your system.
yum install automake libtool # RedHat Linux
emerge -a automake libtool # Gentoo Linux
pkgin install automake libtool # SmartOS
Create configure script
cd libsass
autoreconf --force --install
cd ..
Create custom makefiles
cd libsass
./configure \
--disable-tests \
--disable-shared \
--prefix=/usr
cd ..
Build the library
make -C libsass -j5
Install the library
The library will be installed to the location given as prefix
to configure
. This is standard behavior for autotools and not libsass
specific.
make -C libsass -j5 install
Configure options
The configure
script is created by autotools. To get an overview of available options you can call ./configure --help
. When you execute this script, it will create specific makefiles, which you then use via the regular make command.
There are some libsass
specific options:
Optional Features:
--enable-tests enable testing the build
--enable-coverage enable coverage report for test suite
--enable-shared build shared libraries [default=yes]
--enable-static build static libraries [default=yes]
Optional Packages:
--with-sassc-dir=<dir> specify directory of sassc sources for
testing (default: sassc)
--with-sass-spec-dir=<dir> specify directory of sass-spec for testing
(default: sass-spec)
Build sassc and run spec test-suite
cd libsass
autoreconf --force --install
./configure \
--enable-tests \
--enable-shared \
--prefix=/usr
make -j5 test_build
cd ..
