+* Installation
+ Installing Lua should be very easy:
+
+ 1. Edit "config" to suit your platform, if at all necessary
+ 2. Then, type "make"
+
+* What you get
+ If make succeeds, you get:
+ * a compiler and an interpreter in ./bin/lua;
+ * libraries in ./lib;
+ * include files in ./include.
+
+ There is a reference manual in ./doc, and tests and examples in ./test.
+ You don't need these directories for development.
+
+* If you have problems (and solutions!)
+ If make fails, please let us know (lua@icad.puc-rio.br).
+ If you make changes to "config", please send them to us.
+
+* Shared libraries
+ If you are running SunOs 4.x, type the following after "make" succeeds:
+ ld -o lib/liblua.so.2.4 src/*.o
+ ld -o lib/liblualib.so.2.4 clients/lib/*.o
+
+ For AIX, the OpenGL clone Mesa includes a script for making shared libraries.
+ For other systems, please let us know how!
