From within this directory, +type: + + ./configure + +The autoconfiguration script will spend a bit of time figuring out the +specifics of your system. If you want to specify a particular compiler +(e.g. you have gcc but want to compile with cc), set the environment +variable CC before you run configure. + +Next run + + make + +This will compile popclient for your system. Lastly, become root and +run + + make install + +This will install popclient. By default, popclient will be installed +in /usr/local/bin, with the man page in /usr/local/man/man1, and the +GNU info file in /usr/local/info. If you wish to change these defaults, +edit the Makefile AFTER you run "configure" but BEFORE you run +"make install." You can easily choose a prefix other than /usr/local, +or you can choose completely different directories for each item. + +See the file sample.poprc for a description of configuring your +individual preferences. + +Enjoy! |
