2. Installation

See section 2.2 Prerequisites, for what you need to have installed before you can compile these programs.

After that, here's what to do:

• Run sh configure in the top-level directory. This tries to figure out system dependencies and the installation prefix. See section 2.1 The configure script, for options and other information about the configure script.

• If necessary, edit the paths or other definitions in the top-level `GNUmakefile' and in `include/c-auto.h'.

• Run GNU make. For example, if it's installed as `make', just type `make' in the top-level directory. If all goes well, this will compile all the programs.

• Install the programs and supporting data files with make install.

If you encounter problems anywhere along the line, let us know. Known problems are listed below (see section 2.3 Problems). See section 4. Bugs, for details on how to submit a useful bug report.
