- To make, simply type domake.
- If make succeeds, you get an interpreter in ./bin/lua.
- If make fails, please let me know.
- The libraries are in ./lib. The include files are in ./include.
- You don't need the other directories for development.
- There is a reference manual in ./doc, and tests and examples in ./test.
- This distribution is biased towards SunOS 4 with gcc but it is simple to
- change the Makefiles for other systems, if necessary.
- If you are running SunOs, type also "domake dynamic" to build shared
- libraries in ./lib.
- If your system does not have "popen", then change ./clients/lib/Makefile.
+* Installation
+ See INSTALL.
* Contacting the authors
- Send your comments, bug reports and anything else to lhf@icad.puc-rio.br.
