Installing Bin86

Installation of Bin86

Install Bin86 by running the following commands:


make &&
make INSTALL_OPTS="-m 755" PREFIX=/usr install

Command explanations

make INSTALL_OPTS="-m 755"...: The Makefile declares INSTALL_OPTS="-m 755 -s". The -s parameter causes the install program to invoke the strip program to strip debug symbols from the program. This doesn't work properly because a few files aren't programs, but shell scripts. The strip program errors on those.
