Title:   Generic installation instructions for ADE-based software
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
	ADE (probably available at the same place you found this)

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

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

  	make configure

This will use adeconf (you did install ADE, right?) to generate
files ./bldcfg/paths.*. Review the contents of one of these files
(the others present the same information in alternative formats).

If you do not understand the contents of the file then see the
adeconf(1) man page. If you need to provide some non-default options
to adeconf, then provide them as in this example:

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

Then run:

	make

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

If you are installing into a directory for which you need root
access to do so then run the command:

	su root -c "PATH=$PATH make install"

(The 'PATH=...' is to ensure that root will find 'aderoot' as
well as you did.)

If you are installing somewhere else (under your home directory,
right?) then run the command:

	make install

In either case, if you're feeling nervous then change the 
'make install' to 'make -n install' to see what it's going to do.

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

See the man pages.
