-This is a generic INSTALL file for utilities distributions.
-If this package does not come with, e.g., installable documentation or
-data files, please ignore the references to them below.
-
-To compile this package:
-
-1. Configure the package for your system. In the directory that this
-file is in, type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old
-version of System V, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to
-prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself.
-
-The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
-various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and
-creates the Makefile(s) (one in each subdirectory of the source
-directory). In some packages it creates a C header file containing
-system-dependent definitions. It also creates a file `config.status'
-that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration.
-
-Running `configure' takes a minute or two. While it is running, it
-prints some messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to
-see the messages, run `configure' with its standard output redirected
-to `/dev/null'; for example, `./configure >/dev/null'.
-
-To compile the package in a different directory from the one
-containing the source code, you must use a version of `make' that
-supports the VPATH variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory
-where you want the object files and executables to go and run
-`configure'. `configure' automatically checks for the source code in
-the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If for some reason
-`configure' is not in the source code directory that you are
-configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source code.
-In that case, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR', where
-DIR is the directory that contains the source code.
-
-By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
-/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/man, etc. You can specify an
-installation prefix other than /usr/local by giving `configure' the option
-`--prefix=PATH'. Alternately, you can do so by consistently giving a value
-for the `prefix' variable when you run `make', e.g.,
- make prefix=/usr/gnu
- make prefix=/usr/gnu install
-
-You can specify separate installation prefixes for
-architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If
-you give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH' or set the
-`make' variable `exec_prefix' to PATH, the package will use PATH as
-the prefix for installing programs and libraries. Data files and
-documentation will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files
-are installed using the regular prefix.
-
-Another `configure' option is useful mainly in `Makefile' rules for
-updating `config.status' and `Makefile'. The `--no-create' option
-figures out the configuration for your system and records it in
-`config.status', without actually configuring the package (creating
-`Makefile's and perhaps a configuration header file). Later, you can
-run `./config.status' to actually configure the package. You can also
-give `config.status' the `--recheck' option, which makes it re-run
-`configure' with the same arguments you used before. This option is
-useful if you change `configure'.
-
-Some packages pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options to `configure',
-where PACKAGE is something like `gnu-libc' or `x' (for the X Window System).
-The README should mention any --with- options that the package recognizes.
-
-`configure' ignores any other arguments that you give it.
-
-If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking
-that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial
-values for some variables by setting them in the environment. In
-Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like
-this:
- CC='gcc -traditional' DEFS=-D_POSIX_SOURCE ./configure
-
-The `make' variables that you might want to override with environment
-variables when running `configure' are:
-
-(For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the
-value that `configure' would choose:)
-CC C compiler program.
- Default is `cc', or `gcc' if `gcc' is in your PATH.
-INSTALL Program to use to install files.
- Default is `install' if you have it, `cp' otherwise.
-
-(For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to
-the value that `configure' chooses:)
-DEFS Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar ...'
- Do not use this variable in packages that create a
- configuration header file.
-LIBS Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar ...'
-
-If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage
-you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and
-mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we
-can include them in the next release.
-
-2. Type `make' to compile the package. If you want, you can override
-the `make' variables CFLAGS and LDFLAGS like this:
-
- make CFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS=-s
-
-3. If the package comes with self-tests and you want to run them,
-type `make check'. If you're not sure whether there are any, try it;
-if `make' responds with something like
- make: *** No way to make target `check'. Stop.
-then the package does not come with self-tests.
-
-4. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and
-documentation.
-
-5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
-source directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
-Makefile(s), the header file containing system-dependent definitions
-(if the package uses one), and `config.status' (all the files that
-`configure' created), type `make distclean'.
-
-The file `configure.in' is used as a template to create `configure' by
-a program called `autoconf'. You will only need it if you want to
-regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
