cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're usingcsh' on an old version of System V, you might need to typesh ./configure' instead to preventcsh' from trying to executeconfigure' itself.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
- Type `make' to compile the package.
- Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package.
- Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
- You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing
make clean'. To also remove the files thatconfigure' created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), typemake distclean'. There is also amake maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
