+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.
+
+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 lzip[version].tar.lz
+or
+	lzip -cd lzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -
+
+This creates the directory ./lzip[version] containing the source code
+extracted from the archive.
+
+2. Change to lzip directory and run configure.
+   (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).
+
+	cd lzip[version]
+	./configure
+
+   If you are compiling on MinGW, use:
+
+	./configure CXXFLAGS+='-D __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO'
+
+3. Run make.
+
+	make
+
+4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with lzip.
+
+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.
+
+
+Another way
+-----------
+You can also compile lzip 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.
+
+
+Building without 'make'
+-----------------------
+If you need to build lzip on a system lacking a 'make' program, you can use
+'configure' to build, check, and install the lzip executable like this:
+
+	./configure --build --check --installdir=/usr/local/bin
