Requirements
------------
You will need a C++98 compiler with support for 'long long'.
(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.


Procedure
---------
1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:

	tar -xf lzd[version].tar.lz
or
	lzip -cd lzd[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -

This creates the directory ./lzd[version] containing the source code
extracted from the archive.

2. Change to lzd directory and run configure.
   (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).

	cd lzd[version]
	./configure

3. Run make.

	make

4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with lzd.

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.


Another way
-----------
You can also compile lzd 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.
