Basic Installation ================== Briefly, the shell command `./configure && make && make install` should configure, build, and install this package. The following more-detailed instruction are generic; see the `README` file for instructions specific to this package. The `configure` shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses those values within a `Makefile` to build for that POSIX system as defined by `config.mak` which was generated by `configure`. Compilers and Options ===================== Some systems require unusal options for compilation or linking that the `configure` script does not know about. If you run into an issue run `./configure --help` to figure out what you can do to fix the behavoir. Installation Names ================== By default, `make install` installs the package's command under `/usr/local/bin`. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local/` by giving `configure` the option `--prefix=PREFIX` to `configure`, the package uses PREFIX as the prefix for installation programs and libraries. Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix. `configure` Invokation ====================== `configure` recongizes the following options to control its operations. `--help` Prints a summary of all the options to `configure`, and exits. `--prefix=PREFIX` Sets the installation prefix. `CFLAGS` Sets the flags used during compilation. `configure` also accepts some other options. Run `configure --help` for more details
