2. Installing toolwrap

2.1 Getting toolwrap

cvs repository

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/toolwrap login 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/toolwrap co -P toolwrap

Tarballs (official releases)

All tarballs are available on SourceForge 'Files' page.

2.2 Compiling

Compiling toolwrap should be as simple as :

./configure --prefix=/opt &&\
make

2.3 Installing

If toolwrap compiles successfully, run make install to get the following tree & files created (assuming that /opt was specified at the "configure" step):

/opt
/opt/bin/toolwrap
/opt/pkgs
/opt/etc
/opt/etc/toolwrap-policies
/opt/env
/opt/env/__default__

• /opt/bin/toolwrap is the wrapper itself. Wrapped binaries will be symlinked to toolwrap.
• /opt/etc/toolwrap-policies holds the default wrapping policies. See policy. Policies indicate which package must be used when a tool is invoked.
• /opt/etc/env/__default__ defines how the environment must be set up before starting a tool, and which binary is executed.
