+Requirements
+------------
+You will need a C++ compiler.
+I use gcc 4.7.2 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 lzip[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -
+or
+ gzip -cd lzip[version].tar.gz | tar -xf -
+
+This creates the directory ./lzip[version] containing the source from
+the main archive.
+
+2. Change to lzip directory and run configure.
+ (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).
+
+ cd lzip[version]
+ ./configure
+
+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 can install only the program, the info manual or the man page
+ 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 '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.
