Package Information

Installation of ISO Codes

The directory is called iso-codes-4.17.0.

Install ISO Codes by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user:

make install LN_S='ln -sfn'

Command Explanations

LN_S='ln -sfn': This override ensures the installed symlinks correctly recreated in case we are upgrading or reinstalling the package. It's unneeded but harmless when installing the package onto the system for the first time.
