Requirements ------------ You will need a C compiler. I use gcc 4.3.5 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: lzip -cd lunzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf - or gzip -cd lunzip[version].tar.gz | tar -xf - This creates the directory ./lunzip[version] containing the source from the main archive. 2. Change to lunzip directory and run configure. (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions). cd lunzip[version] ./configure 3. Run make. make 4. Optionally, type 'make check' to run the tests that come with lunzip. 5. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and documentation. Another way ----------- You can also compile lunzip into a separate directory. To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the 'VPATH' variable, 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 sources. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory automatically. After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as explained above. Copyright (C) 2010, 2011, 2012 Antonio Diaz Diaz.
