7installation notes:
8--------
9Read the comments at the beginning of Makefile before running.
10
11Utils.h contains some things that just might have to be modified on
12some systems, as well as a nested include (ugh) of <assert.h>.
13
14The "fake" directory contains quick-and-dirty fakes for some header
15files and routines that old systems may not have. Note also that
16-DUSEBCOPY will make utils.h substitute bcopy() for memmove().
17
18After that, "make r" will build regcomp.o, regexec.o, regfree.o,
19and regerror.o (the actual routines), bundle them together into a test
20program, and run regression tests on them. No output is good output.
21
22"make lib" builds just the .o files for the actual routines (when
23you're happy with testing and have adjusted CFLAGS for production),
24and puts them together into libregex.a. You can pick up either the
25library or *.o ("make lib" makes sure there are no other .o files left
26around to confuse things).
27
28Main.c, debug.c, split.c are used for regression testing but are not part
29of the RE routines themselves.
30
31Regex.h goes in /usr/include. All other .h files are internal only.
