--enable-usb

--with-upstype=<YOUR_UPS>: This option allows you to specify the type of UPS that will be connected to your computer

--with-upscable=<YOUR_CABLE>: This option allows you to specify what cable you are using to connect to the UPS

--enable-cgi: Enables the building of the CGI programs that permit Web browser access to apcupsd data

--with-cgi-bin=<CGI_DIR>: Points to your CGI dir

--enable-gapcmon: A Gtk2/GLib2 GUI application used to monitor UPS devices controlled by the APCUPSD package.

--enable-powerflute: Is a ncurses based program to monitor the UPS.

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/opt/apc --with-log-dir=/var/log \
--enable-usb --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb \
--enable-cgi --with-cgi-bin=/srv/www/cgi-bin \
--enable-gapcmon --enable-powerflute &&
make

Install the package

make install 

Multilib

This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH32" USE_ARCH=32 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-log-dir=/var/log \
--enable-usb --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb \
--enable-cgi --with-cgi-bin=/srv/www/cgi-bin \
--enable-gapcmon --enable-powerflute &&
make

Install the package

make install

N32

TO DO!

64Bit

Compile the package

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH64" USE_ARCH=64 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-log-dir=/var/log \
--enable-usb --with-upstype=usb --with-upscable=usb \
--enable-cgi --with-cgi-bin=/srv/www/cgi-bin \ 
--enable-gapcmon --enable-powerflute &&
make

Install the package

make install
