+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.
+
+To compile this package:
+
+1.  Configure the package for your system.  In the directory that this
+file is in, 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.
+
+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.
+
+Running `configure' takes a minute or two.  While it is running, it
+prints some messages that tell what it is doing.  If you don't want to
+see the 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
+`configure'.  `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/lib, /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 giving a value
+for the `prefix' variable when you run `make', e.g.,
+	make prefix=/usr/gnu
+
+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 regular prefix.
+
+Another `configure' option is useful mainly in `Makefile' rules for
+updating `config.status' and `Makefile'.  The `--no-create' option
+figures out the configuration for your system and records it in
+`config.status', without actually configuring the package (creating
+`Makefile's and perhaps a configuration header file).  Later, you can
+run `./config.status' to actually configure the package.  You can also
+give `config.status' the `--recheck' option, which makes it re-run
+`configure' with the same arguments you used before.  This option is
+useful if you change `configure'.
+
+Some packages pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options to `configure',
+where PACKAGE is something like `gnu-libc' or `x' (for X windows).
+The README should mention any --with- options that the package recognizes.
+
+`configure' ignores any other arguments that you give it.
+
+If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking
+that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial
+values for some variables by setting them in the environment.  In
+Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like
+this:
+	CC='gcc -traditional' DEFS=-D_POSIX_SOURCE ./configure
+
+The `make' variables that you might want to override with environment
+variables when running `configure' are:
+
+(For these variables, any value given in the environment overrides the
+value that `configure' would choose:)
+CC		C compiler program.
+		Default is `cc', or `gcc' if `gcc' is in your PATH.
+INSTALL		Program to use to install files.
+		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:)
+DEFS		Configuration options, in the form `-Dfoo -Dbar ...'
+		Do not use this variable in packages that create a
+		configuration header file.
+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 as a template to create `configure' by
+a program called `autoconf'.  You will only need it if you want to
+regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
