>+
>+Basic Installation
>+==================
>+
>+   Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should
>+configure, build, and install this package.  The following
>+more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README' file for
>+instructions specific to this package.
>+
>+   The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
>+various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
>+those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
>+It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
>+definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
>+you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
>+file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
>+debugging `configure').
>+
>+   It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
>+and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
>+the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring.  Caching is
>+disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
>+cache files.
>+
>+   If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
>+to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
>+diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
>+be considered for the next release.  If you are using the cache, and at
>+some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
>+may remove or edit it.
>+
>+   The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
>+`configure' by a program called `autoconf'.  You need `configure.ac' if
>+you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version
>+of `autoconf'.
>+
>+The simplest way to compile this package is:
>+
>+  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
>+     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.
>+
>+     Running `configure' might take a while.  While running, it prints
>+     some messages telling which features it is checking for.
>+
>+  2. Type `make' to compile the package.
>+
>+  3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
>+     the package.
>+
>+  4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
>+     documentation.
>+
>+  5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
>+     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the
>+     files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
>+     a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is
>+     also a `make 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.
>+
>+  6. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed
>+     files again.
>+
>+Compilers and Options
>+=====================
>+
>+   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
>+the `configure' script does not know about.  Run `./configure --help'
>+for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
>+
>+   You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
>+by setting variables in the command line or in the environment.  Here
>+is an example:
>+
>+     ./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix
>+
>+   *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
>+
>+Compiling For Multiple Architectures
>+====================================
>+
>+   You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
>+same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
>+own directory.  To do this, you can use 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 `..'.
>+
>+   With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one
>+architecture at a time in the source code directory.  After you have
>+installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before
>+reconfiguring for another architecture.
>+
>+   On MacOS X 10.5 and later systems, you can create libraries and
>+executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or
>+"universal" binaries--by specifying multiple `-arch' options to the
>+compiler but only a single `-arch' option to the preprocessor.  Like
>+this:
>+
>+     ./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
>+                 CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
>+                 CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E"
>+
>+   This is not guaranteed to produce working output in all cases, you
>+may have to build one architecture at a time and combine the results
>+using the `lipo' tool if you have problems.
>+
>+Installation Names
>+==================
>+
>+   By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
>+`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc.  You
>+can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
>+`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
>+
>+   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
>+architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
>+pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses
>+PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
>+Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
>+
>+   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
>+options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
>+kinds of files.  Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
>+you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
>+
>+   If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
>+with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
>+option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
>+
>+Optional Features
>+=================
>+
>+   Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
>+`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
>+They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
>+is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System).  The
>+`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
>+package recognizes.
>+
>+   For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
>+find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
>+you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
>+`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
>+
>+Particular systems
>+==================
>+
>+   On HP-UX, the default C compiler is not ANSI C compatible.  If GNU
>+CC is not installed, it is recommended to use the following options in
>+order to use an ANSI C compiler:
>+
>+     ./configure CC="cc -Ae"
>+
>+and if that doesn't work, install pre-built binaries of GCC for HP-UX.
>+
>+   On OSF/1 a.k.a. Tru64, some versions of the default C compiler cannot
>+parse its `<wchar.h>' header file.  The option `-nodtk' can be used as
>+a workaround.  If GNU CC is not installed, it is therefore recommended
>+to try
>+
>+     ./configure CC="cc"
>+
>+and if that doesn't work, try
>+
>+     ./configure CC="cc -nodtk"
>+
>+Specifying the System Type
>+==========================
>+
>+   There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
>+automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
>+will run on.  Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
>+_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
>+a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
>+`--build=TYPE' option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
>+type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
>+
>+     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
>+
>+where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
>+
>+     OS KERNEL-OS
>+
>+   See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field.  If
>+`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
>+need to know the machine type.
>+
>+   If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
>+use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
>+produce code for.
>+
>+   If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
>+platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
>+"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
>+eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
>+
>+Sharing Defaults
>+================
>+
>+   If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
>+you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
>+default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
>+`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
>+`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists.  Or, you can set the
>+`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
>+A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
>+
>+Defining Variables
>+==================
>+
>+   Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
>+environment passed to `configure'.  However, some packages may run
>+configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
>+variables may be lost.  In order to avoid this problem, you should set
>+them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'.  For example:
>+
>+     ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
>+
>+causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
>+overridden in the site shell script).
>+
>+Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to
>+an Autoconf bug.  Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround:
>+
>+     CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
>+
>+`configure' Invocation
>+======================
>+
>+   `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
>+operates.
>+
>+`--help'
>+`-h'
>+     Print a summary of all of the options to `configure', and exit.
>+
>+`--help=short'
>+`--help=recursive'
>+     Print a summary of the options unique to this package's
>+     `configure', and exit.  The `short' variant lists options used
>+     only in the top level, while the `recursive' variant lists options
>+     also present in any nested packages.
>+
>+`--version'
>+`-V'
>+     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
>+     script, and exit.
>+
>+`--cache-file=FILE'
>+     Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
>+     traditionally `config.cache'.  FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
>+     disable caching.
>+
>+`--config-cache'
>+`-C'
>+     Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
>+
>+`--quiet'
>+`--silent'
>+`-q'
>+     Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.  To
>+     suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
>+     messages will still be shown).
>+
>+`--srcdir=DIR'
>+     Look for the package's source code in directory DIR.  Usually
>+     `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
>+
>+`--prefix=DIR'
>+     Use DIR as the installation prefix.  *Note Installation Names::
>+     for more details, including other options available for fine-tuning
>+     the installation locations.
>+
>+`--no-create'
>+`-n'
>+     Run the configure checks, but stop before creating any output
>+     files.
>+
>+`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.  Run
>+`configure --help' for more details.
