+Requirements
+------------
+You will need a C99 compiler. (gcc 3.3.6 or newer is recommended).
+I use gcc 6.1.0 and 3.3.6, but the code should compile with any standards
+compliant compiler.
+Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org.
+
+The operating system must allow signal handlers read access to objects with
+static storage duration so that the cleanup handler for Control-C can delete
+the partial output file.
+
+
+Procedure
+---------
+1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
+
+ tar -xf clzip[version].tar.lz
+or
+ lzip -cd clzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -
+
+This creates the directory ./clzip[version] containing the source code
+extracted from the archive.
+
+2. Change to clzip directory and run configure.
+ (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).
+
+ cd clzip[version]
+ ./configure
+
+ If you choose a C standard, enable the POSIX features explicitly:
+
+ ./configure CFLAGS+='--std=c99 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500'
+
+ If you are compiling on MinGW, use:
+
+ ./configure CFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO'
+
+3. Run make.
+
+ make
+
+4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with clzip.
+
+5. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and
+ documentation. You need root privileges to install into a prefix owned
+ by root.
+
+ Or type 'make install-compress', which additionally compresses the
+ info manual and the man page after installation.
+ (Installing compressed docs may become the default in the future).
+
+ You can install only the program, the info manual, or the man page by
+ typing 'make install-bin', 'make install-info', or 'make install-man'
+ respectively.
+
+ Instead of 'make install', you can type 'make install-as-lzip' to
+ install the program and any data files and documentation, and link
+ the program to the name 'lzip'.
+
+
+Another way
+-----------
+You can also compile clzip into a separate directory.
+To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the variable
+'VPATH', such as GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the directory where you want the
+object files and executables to go and run the 'configure' script.
+'configure' automatically checks for the source code in '.', in '..', and
+in the directory that 'configure' is in.
+
+'configure' recognizes the option '--srcdir=DIR' to control where to look
+for the source code. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory
+automatically.
+
+After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as
+explained above.
