LYNX-DEV autoconf

[Leonid Pauzner]

[to Henry and Tom]

I compile ac-0.104 on Linux without problem,
but suggest to add to INSTALLATION something like this:




*** installa    Sun Dec 28 15:34:14 1997
--- installa.new        Mon Dec 29 04:31:22 1997
***************
*** 293,298 ****
--- 293,312 ----
      file "lynx.cfg", when I type "make install".  The --with-screen=slang and
      --with-zlib options are explained above.

+ 1f. Most simple example
+     If you novice in compiling, your permitions restricted to your
+     home directory, and you need lynx but not sure in any settings above -
+     just choose a directory name (say .lynx), type
+
+       ./configure --prefix=~/.lynx --exec-prefix=~/.lynx
+
+     and
+       make install
+
+     Now you only need to add ~/.lynx/bin to your PATH
+     and edit ~/.lynx/lib/lynx.cfg as described in step 2, 3 and 4.
+

  2. Manual compile
      If auto-configure does not work for you, or you prefer to compile
      Lynx manually, "docs/Makefile.old" will serve as a template for the
