configure and make Installation

a) ... Download either the source or distribution tarball (the .tar.gz file) from:-

https://github.com/m-grant-prg/dnsmasq-logrotate/releases

b) ... Extract the tarball preserving the directory structure.

c) ... cd to the directory created.

d) ... If you downloaded the source tarball type 'autoreconf -if'

e) ... If your dnsmasq.conf file and logrotate.d directory are where AutoTools can find them then type

'./configure'

OR, as is more likely:-

You want to find these files in their standard GNU/Linux locations then type

'./configure sysconfdir=/etc localstatedir=/var'

f) ... As root or sudo, type 'make install clean'

g) ... As root or sudo, type 'dnsmasq-postrotate.sh --setup'

(Quote marks are for textual clarity only).

To uninstall the package:

1 ... cd to the directory created in the above install process.

2 ... As root or sudo, type 'make uninstall clean'
