Basic Installation
==================
This software package uses a build system similar to one generated by GNU
Autoconf and Automake.
The `configure` shell script attempts to find certain system dependencies (e.g.
a shell interpreter) and configure the package to be built and installed on the
system. 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.
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`.
Separate Build Directory
========================
You can call the `configure` script from any directory on your system, and it
will detect the location of the package source directory. It is recommended
that you create a directory outside of the package source directory and build
and install the package from there as follows:
$ ../path/to/package/configure
$ make
# make install
