7This package doesn't require much for installation.  Just what typically
8comes with any free operating system.  Be sure you have:
9
10 - GNU Make
11 - GCC
12
13Note that iconv support is required, as specified in IEEE Std 1003.1
14(POSIX.1-2001).  Some platforms still do not contain support for this
15natively, in which case you may need to install libiconv from:
16  http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

19Survival Commands
20-----------------

22make
23# and as root
24make install

26If GNU Make isn't your default, you may need to run `gmake' instead.

29Advanced Installation
30---------------------
31To install in a custom directory, simply change one or more of the
32following make variables to suit your needs:
33
34 PREFIX      Top level install directory.  Used as base for rest unless
35             they too are overridden. (This defaults to /usr/local)
36
37 BIN_PREFIX  Location for executable programs to be installed.
38
39 DOC_PREFIX  Location for documentation.
40
41 MAN_PREFIX  A path in the MANPATH.
42
43
44Use the following syntax (with GNU Make) to override a variable:
45
46# as root
47make VAR=value install

50For more information, see the Makefiles.
