Title:   Installation instructions for ADE
Version: $HeadURL$ $LastChangedRevision$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prerequisite software
---------------------

You must have the following software installed and accessible to the
user who will compile and to the user who will install this package:

	GNU make
	Perl version 5 or greater
	Korn shell or Bash

Not required, but useful are the following:

	sendmail (or something which pretends to be sendmail, e.g. masqmail)
	gzip/gunzip
	compress/uncompress

Compilation 
-----------

This software uses a mechanism similar, but not identical, to GNU
configure. As non-root, from the top of the source tree, run the command:

  	make ADEROOT=`pwd` configure

This will generate files ./bldcfg/paths.*. Review the contents of one
of these files (the other present the same information in an alternative
format).

If you need to provide some non-default options to adeconf, then 
provide them as in this example:

	make ADEROOT=`pwd` configure ADECONF_FLAGS="--prefix=/some/path/or/other ..." 

Valid path-specifying options are:

	--prefix
	--cfgdir
	--sttdir
	--lckdir
	--logdir
	--bindir
	--mandir

(You can view the 'adeconf' manual page in the ./man directory for
more information on these options.)

When you are happy with the paths then (still from the top directory
of the sources) run:

	make ADEROOT=`pwd`

Installation
------------

If you chose an installation prefix for which you need root access
then now run:

	su root -c "make ADEROOT=`pwd` install"

Otherwise run:

        make ADEROOT=`pwd` install

If you're feeling nervous then first run:

        make -n ADEROOT=`pwd` install

Configuration and execution
---------------------------

See the man pages.
