Upon successful dependency resolution and configuration, the script +generates a 'Makefile' in your current working directory. + +The simplest way to configure, build, and install this package is: + 1. Run the 'configure' script from the source directory or any other directory. + For example, from the source directory you can run './configure'. + 2. Run 'make' to build the package. (Currently this does nothing, but this may + change in the future.) + 3. Run 'make install' to install the package. You will probably need superuser + privileges to install files into your system. + +To uninstall the package, you can run 'make uninstall'. + + +OPTIONS +======= + +The 'configure' script accepts certain command-line options to control package +building and installation. Run the script with the '--help' option for more +information. + + +MACROS +====== + +The macro 'DESTDIR' affects the root directory into which the 'Makefile' +installs the package. For example, you can install the package into a +filesystem hierarchy under a directory named 'dest' in the current directory by +running 'make DESTDIR=dest install'. |
