| 6 | The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
|---|
| 7 | various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
|---|
| 8 | those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
|
|---|
| 9 | It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
|---|
| 10 | definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
|---|
| 11 | you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
|
|---|
| 12 | `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
|
|---|
| 13 | reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
|
|---|
| 14 | (useful mainly for debugging `configure').
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
|
|---|
| 17 | to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
|---|
| 18 | diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
|
|---|
| 19 | be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
|
|---|
| 20 | contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
|---|
| 23 | called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
|
|---|
| 24 | it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
|---|
| 29 | `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
|---|
| 30 | using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
|---|
|
