+These are generic installation instructions.
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+   This package depends on a few other packages.  They are listed in
+the file ‘DEPENDENCIES’.  It is recommended to install the listed
+packages before installing this package.
+
+Basic Installation
+==================
+
+   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, a file
+‘config.cache’ that saves the results of its tests to speed up
+reconfiguring, and a file ‘config.log’ containing compiler output
+(useful mainly for debugging ‘configure’).
+
+   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 at some point ‘config.cache’
+contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
+
+   The file ‘configure.ac’ is used to create ‘configure’ by a program
+called ‘autoconf’.  You only 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.  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 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.
+
+Compilers and Options
+=====================
+
+   Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
+the ‘configure’ script does not know about.  You can give ‘configure’
+initial values for variables as arguments.  You can do it like this:
+     ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
+
+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 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 you have to use a ‘make’ that does not supports the ‘VPATH’
+variable, you have 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’ 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’.
+
+   You can specify separate installation prefixes for
+architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files.  If you
+give ‘configure’ the option ‘--exec-prefix=PATH’, the package will use
+PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
+Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
+
+   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
+options like ‘--bindir=PATH’ 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’.
+
+Enabling Relocatability
+=======================
+
+   It has been a pain for many users of GNU packages for a long time
+that packages are not relocatable.  It means a user cannot copy a
+program, installed by another user on the same machine, to his home
+directory, and have it work correctly (including i18n).  So many users
+need to go through ‘configure; make; make install’ with all its
+dependencies, options, and hurdles.
+
+   Red Hat, Debian, and similar package systems solve the "ease of
+installation" problem, but they hardwire path names, usually to ‘/usr’
+or ‘/usr/local’.  This means that users need root privileges to install
+a binary package, and prevents installing two different versions of the
+same binary package.
+
+   A relocatable program can be moved or copied to a different location
+on the filesystem.  It is possible to make symlinks to the installed
+and moved programs, and invoke them through the symlink. It is possible
+to do the same thing with a hard link _only_ if the hard link file is
+in the same directory as the real program.
+
+   To configure a program to be relocatable, add ‘--enable-relocatable’
+to the ‘configure’ command line.
+
+   On some OSes the executables remember the location of shared
+libraries and prefer them over any other search path.  Therefore, such
+an executable will look for its shared libraries first in the original
+installation directory and only then in the current installation
+directory.  Thus, for reliability, it is best to also give a ‘--prefix’
+option pointing to a directory that does not exist now and which never
+will be created, e.g.  ‘--prefix=/nonexistent’.  You may use
+‘DESTDIR=DEST-DIR’ on the ‘make’ command line to avoid installing into
+that directory.
+
+   We do not recommend using a prefix writable by unprivileged users
+(e.g. ‘/tmp/inst$$’) because such a directory can be recreated by an
+unprivileged user after the original directory has been removed.  We
+also do not recommend prefixes that might be behind an automounter
+(e.g. ‘$HOME/inst$$’) because of the performance impact of directory
+searching.
+
+   Here's a sample installation run that takes into account all these
+recommendations:
+
+     ./configure --enable-relocatable --prefix=/nonexistent
+     make
+     make install DESTDIR=/tmp/inst$$
+
+   Installation with ‘--enable-relocatable’ will not work for setuid or
+setgid executables, because such executables search only system library
+paths for security reasons.  Also, installation with
+‘--enable-relocatable’ might not work on OpenBSD, when the package
+contains shared libraries and libtool versions 1.5.xx are used.
+
+   The runtime penalty and size penalty are negligible on GNU/Linux
+(just one system call more when an executable is launched), and small on
+other systems (the wrapper program just sets an environment variable
+and executes the real program).
+
+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.
+
+   For packages that use the GNU libiconv library, you can use the
+‘configure’ option ‘--with-libiconv-prefix’ to specify the prefix you
+used while installing GNU libiconv.  This option is not necessary if
+that other prefix is the same as the one now specified through --prefix.
+
+   For packages that use the GNU libintl library, you can use the
+‘configure’ option ‘--with-libintl-prefix’ to specify the prefix you
+used while installing GNU gettext-runtime.  This option is not necessary if
+that other prefix is the same as the one now specified through --prefix.
+
+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 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500"
+
+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"
+
+   On AIX 3, the C include files by default don't define some necessary
+prototype declarations.  If GNU CC is not installed, it is recommended to
+use the following options:
+
+     ./configure CC="xlc -D_ALL_SOURCE"
+
+   On Haiku, software installed for all users goes in /boot/common, not
+/usr/local.  It is recommended to use the following options:
+
+     ./configure --prefix=/boot/common
+
+   On BeOS, user installed software goes in /boot/home/config, not
+/usr/local.  It is recommended to use the following options:
+
+     ./configure --prefix=/boot/home/config
+
+Specifying the System Type
+==========================
+
+   There may be some features ‘configure’ can not figure out
+automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
+will run on.  Usually ‘configure’ can figure that out, but if it prints
+a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
+‘--host=TYPE’ option.  TYPE can either be a short name for the system
+type, such as ‘sun4’, or a canonical name with three fields:
+     CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
+
+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 host type.
+
+   If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
+use the ‘--target=TYPE’ option to select the type of system they will
+produce code for and the ‘--build=TYPE’ option to select the type of
+system on which you are compiling the package.
+
+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.
+
+Operation Controls
+==================
+
+   ‘configure’ recognizes the following options to control how it
+operates.
+
+‘--cache-file=FILE’
+     Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
+     ‘./config.cache’.  Set FILE to ‘/dev/null’ to disable caching, for
+     debugging ‘configure’.
+
+‘--help’
+     Print a summary of the options to ‘configure’, and exit.
+
+‘--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.
+
+‘--version’
+     Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the ‘configure’
+     script, and exit.
+
+‘configure’ also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
