<para>
 To build <application>Privoxy</application> from source, 
 <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html">autoconf</ulink>,
 <ulink
 url="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html">GNU make
 (gmake)</ulink>, and, of course, a C compiler like <ulink
 url="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html">gcc</ulink> are required.
</para>

<para>
 When building from a source tarball,
<!-- 
 no longer available ...
 <ulink
 url="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/ijbswa-cvsroot.tar.gz">nightly CVS
 tarball</ulink>), 
--> first unpack the source: 
</para>

<para>
 <screen>
 tar xzvf privoxy-&p-version;<![%p-not-stable;[-beta]]><![%p-stable;[-stable]]>-src.tar.gz
 cd privoxy-&p-version;<![%p-not-stable;[-beta]]><![%p-stable;[-stable]]>
</screen>
</para>

<para>
 For retrieving the current CVS sources, you'll need a CVS client installed.
 Note that sources from CVS are typically development quality, and may not be
 stable, or well tested. To download CVS source, check the Sourceforge
 documentation, which might give commands like:
</para>

<para>
 <screen>
  cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa login
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ijbswa co current
  cd current
</screen>
</para>

<para>
 This will create a directory named <filename>current/</filename>, which will 
 contain the source tree.
</para>

<para>
 You can also check out any <application>Privoxy</application>
 <quote>branch</quote>, just exchange the <application>current</application>
 name with the wanted branch name (Example: v_3_0_branch for the 3.0 cvs
 tree).
</para>

<para>
 It is also strongly recommended to not run <application>Privoxy</application>
 as root. You should configure/install/run <application>Privoxy</application> as
 an unprivileged user, preferably by  creating a <quote>privoxy</quote> user
 and group just for this purpose. See your local documentation for the correct
 command line to do add new users and groups (something like
 <command>adduser</command>, but the command syntax may vary from platform
 to platform). 
</para>

<para>
 <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> might then look like:
</para>

<para>
 <screen>  privoxy:*:7777:7777:privoxy proxy:/no/home:/no/shell</screen>
</para>

<para>
 And then <filename>/etc/group</filename>, like:
</para>

<para>
 <screen>  privoxy:*:7777:</screen>
</para>

<para>
 Some binary packages may do this for you.
</para>

<para>
 Then, to build from either unpacked tarball or CVS source:
</para>

<para>
 <screen>
 autoheader
 autoconf
 ./configure      # (--help to see options)
 make             # (the make from GNU, sometimes called gmake) 
 su               # Possibly required
 make -n install  # (to see where all the files will go)
 make -s install  # (to really install, -s to silence output)</screen>
</para>

<para>
  Using GNU <command>make</command>, you can have the first four steps
  automatically done for you by just typing:
</para>

<para>
 <screen>
  make
</screen>
</para>

<para>
  in the freshly downloaded or unpacked source directory.
</para>

<para>
 To build an executable with security enhanced features so that 
 users cannot easily bypass the proxy (e.g. <quote>Go There Anyway</quote>), or
 alter their own configurations, <command>configure</command> like this:
</para>
<para>
 <screen>
 ./configure  --disable-toggle  --disable-editor  --disable-force</screen>
</para> 
<para>
Then build as above. In Privoxy 3.0.7 and later, all of these options
can also be disabled through the configuration file.
</para>
<para>
 <emphasis>WARNING:</emphasis> If installing as root, the install will fail
 unless a non-root user or group is specified, or a <literal>privoxy</literal>
 user and group already exist on the system. If a non-root user is specified,
 and no group, then the installation will try to also use a group of the same name
 as <quote>user</quote>. If a group is specified (and no user), then the
 support files will be installed as writable by that group, and owned by the
 user running the installation.
</para>

<para>
 <command>configure</command> accepts <literal>--with-user</literal> and
 <literal>--with-group</literal> options for setting user and group ownership
 of the configuration files (which need to be writable by the daemon). The
 specified <emphasis>user must already exist</emphasis>. When starting
 <application>Privoxy</application>, it must be run as this same user to
 insure write access to configuration and log files!
</para>

<para>
 Alternately, you can specify <literal>user</literal> and <literal>group</literal>
 on the <command>make</command> command line, but be sure both already exist:
</para>

<para>
 <screen>
 make -s install  USER=privoxy GROUP=privoxy</screen>
</para>

<para>
 The default installation path for <command>make install</command> is 
 <filename>/usr/local</filename>. This may of course be customized with 
 the various <command>./configure</command> path options. If you are doing 
 an install to anywhere besides <filename>/usr/local</filename>, be
 sure to set the appropriate paths with the correct configure options
 (<command>./configure --help</command>). Non-privileged users must of course
 have write access permissions to wherever the target installation is going.
</para>

<para>
 If you do install to <filename>/usr/local</filename>, the install will use
 <literal>sysconfdir=$prefix/etc/privoxy</literal> by default. All other
 destinations, and the direct usage of <literal>--sysconfdir</literal> flag
 behave like normal, i.e. will not add the extra <filename>privoxy</filename>
 directory. This is for a safer install, as there may already exist another
 program that uses a file with the <quote>config</quote> name, and thus makes
 <filename>/usr/local/etc</filename> cleaner.
</para>

<para>
 If installing to <filename>/usr/local</filename>, the documentation will go
 by default to <filename>$prefix/share/doc</filename>. But if this directory
 doesn't exist, it will then try <filename>$prefix/doc</filename> and install
 there before creating a new <filename>$prefix/share/doc</filename> just for
 <application>Privoxy</application>.
</para>

<para>
 Again, if the installs goes to <filename>/usr/local</filename>, the
 <literal>localstatedir</literal> (ie: <filename>var/</filename>) will default
 to <filename>/var</filename> instead of <literal>$prefix/var</literal> so
 the logs will go to <filename>/var/log/privoxy/</filename>, and the pid file
 will be created in <filename>/var/run/privoxy.pid</filename>. 
</para>

<para>
 <command>make install</command> will attempt to set the correct values 
 in <filename>config</filename> (main configuration file). You should  
 check this to make sure all values are correct. If appropriate,
 an init script will be installed, but it is up to the user to determine 
 how and where to start <application>Privoxy</application>. The init 
 script should be checked for correct paths and values, if anything other than
 a default install is done.
</para>

<para>
 If install finds previous versions of local configuration files, most of
 these will not be overwritten, and the new ones will be installed with a
 <quote>new</quote> extension. default.action and default.filter
 <emphasis>will be overwritten</emphasis>. You will then need
 to manually update the other installed configuration files as needed. The
 default template files <emphasis>will</emphasis> be overwritten. If you have
 customized, local templates, these should be stored safely in a separate
 directory and defined in <filename>config</filename> by the
 <quote>templdir</quote> directive. It is of course wise to always back-up any
 important configuration files <quote>just in case</quote>. If a previous
 version of <application>Privoxy</application> is already running, you will
 have to restart it manually.
</para>

<para>
 The simplest command line to start <application>Privoxy</application> is 
 <command>$path/privoxy --user=privoxy  $path/etc/privoxy/config</command>. 
 See <command>privoxy --usage</command>, or the man page, for other options, 
 and configuration.
