Basic Installation
8
==================
9
The simplest way to compile this package is:
10
 
11
  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
12
     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.
13
  2. Type `make' to compile the package.
14
  3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
15
     documentation.

Compilers and Options
18
=====================
19
 
20
   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
21
the `configure' script does not know about.  Run `./configure --help'
22
for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
23
 
24
   You can give `configure' initial values for variables by setting
25
them in the environment.  You can do that on the command line like this:
26
 
27
     ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix

Installation Names
31
==================
32
 
33
   By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
34
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc.  You can specify an
35
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
36
option `--prefix=PATH'.
37
 
38
   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
39
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
40
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
41
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
42
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
43
 
44
   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
45
options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
46
kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
47
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
