1                Instructions for installing UnNetHack
2                 on a GNU autoconf supported system
3                =====================================
4
51.  If your system is supported by GNU autoconf, then you should just be
6    able to change to the top level directory (the one containing the
7    sys and src directories, amoung others) and run:
8
9	% ./configure
10	% make
11	% su -
12	# make install
13
14    Notes:
15
16    * You do _not_ need to have a copy of GNU autoconf to install UnNetHack.
17
182.  If you do not like the default set of optional features, then you can
19    use the --enable-FEATURE and/or --disable-FEATURE flags to configure
20    as required. Use configure --help to get a list of the optional feaures
21    available and their default settings.
22
233.  If the steps above fail for any reason, then your system is probably
24    not supported by GNU autoconf and you should use the system-specific
25    installation instructions in the relevent subdirectory of sys.
26
274.  If you think you've found a bug in the automatic configuration system,
28    then please report it to <bhaak@gmx.net>.
29    If the problem is that configure exited with an error then, as well as
30    a cut & paste of the error message, please attach the relevant section
31    of config.log (or the whole thing if you're not sure).
32
335.  If for some reason you need to recreate the configure script, then you
34    should use bootstrap.sh for this purpose. You will need autoconf,
35    automake and pkgconfig for this step.
36
376.  config.guess and config.sub come from the GNU config package. They should
38    periodically be updated from the official copies. At the time of writing,
39    these can be found here:
