+
+[This file is the generic GNU autoconf/configure installation description,
+ see the README for pdksh specific configuration/installation information]
+
+ This is a generic INSTALL file for utilities distributions.
+If this package does not come with, e.g., installable documentation or
+data files, please ignore the references to them below.
+
+ The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
+various system-dependent variables used during compilation, and
+creates the Makefile(s) (one in each subdirectory of the source
+directory). In some packages it creates a C header file containing
+system-dependent definitions. It also creates a file `config.status'
+that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration.
+
+To compile this package:
+
+1. Configure the package for your system.
+
+ Normally, you just `cd' to the directory containing the package's
+source code and type `./configure'. If you're using `csh' on an old
+version of System V, you might need to type `sh configure' instead to
+prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself.
+
+ Running `configure' takes awhile. While it is running, it
+prints some messages that tell what it is doing. If you don't want to
+see any messages, run `configure' with its standard output redirected
+to `/dev/null'; for example, `./configure >/dev/null'.
+
+ To compile the package in a different directory from the one
+containing the source code, you must use a version of `make' that
+supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
+directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
+the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
+source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If
+for some reason `configure' is not in the source code directory that
+you are configuring, then it will report that it can't find the source
+code. In that case, run `configure' with the option `--srcdir=DIR',
+where DIR is the directory that contains the source code.
+
+ By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
+`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
+installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
+option `--prefix=PATH'. Alternately, you can do so by consistently
+giving a value for the `prefix' variable when you run `make', e.g.,
+ make prefix=/usr/gnu
+ make prefix=/usr/gnu install
+
+ You can specify separate installation prefixes for
+architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
+give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH' or set the `make'
+variable `exec_prefix' to PATH, the package will use PATH as the prefix
+for installing programs and libraries. Data files and documentation
+will still use the regular prefix. Normally, all files are installed
+using the same prefix.
+
+ Some packages pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options to
+`configure', where PACKAGE is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the
+X Window System). They may also pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE'
+options, where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package. The
+README should mention any `--with-' and `--enable-' options that the
+package recognizes.
+
+ `configure' also recognizes the following options:
+
+`--help'
+ Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
+
+`--quiet'
+`--silent'
+ Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
+
+`--verbose'
+ Print the results of the checks.
+
+`--version'
+ Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
+ script, and exit.
+
+`--x-includes=DIR'
+ X include files are in DIR.
+
+`--x-libraries=DIR'
+ X library files are in DIR.
+
+ `configure' also accepts and ignores some other options.
+
+ On systems that require unusual options for compilation or linking
+that the package's `configure' script does not know about, you can give
+`configure' initial values for variables by setting them in the
+environment. In Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the
+command line like this:
+
+ CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure
+
+On systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
+
+ env CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure
+
+ Here are the `make' variables that you might want to override with
+environment variables when running `configure'.
+
+ For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the
+value that `configure' would choose:
+
+ - Variable: CC
+ C compiler program. The default is `cc'.
+
+ - Variable: INSTALL
+ Program to use to install files. The default is `install' if you
+ have it, `cp' otherwise.
+
+ For these variables, any value given in the environment is added to
+the value that `configure' chooses:
+
+ - Variable: DEFS
+ Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar...'. Do not use
+ this variable in packages that create a configuration header file.
+
+ - Variable: LIBS
+ Libraries to link with, in the form `-lfoo -lbar...'.
+
+ If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, we encourage
+you to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and
+mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README so we
+can include them in the next release.
+
+2. Type `make' to compile the package. If you want, you can override
+the `make' variables CFLAGS and LDFLAGS like this:
+
+ make CFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS=-s
+
+3. If the package comes with self-tests and you want to run them,
+type `make check'. If you're not sure whether there are any, try it;
+if `make' responds with something like
+ make: *** No way to make target `check'. Stop.
+then the package does not come with self-tests.
+
+4. Type `make install' to install programs, data files, and
+documentation.
+
+5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
+source directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
+Makefile(s), the header file containing system-dependent definitions
+(if the package uses one), and `config.status' (all the files that
+`configure' created), type `make distclean'.
+
+ The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
+called `autoconf'. You only need it if you want to regenerate
+`configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
