21INSTALLATION:
22
23   Moon-buggy requires the curses library as a prerequisite.  If
24curses is not installed on your system, you may use the free ncurses
25package.  The game does not work with BSD curses, thus on BSD systems
26you will need the ncurses package.
27
28   Generic installation instructions are in the file INSTALL.  There
29are some points of interest:
30
31   * By default, the program will be installed as
32     '/usr/local/bin/moon-buggy'.  You can specify an installation
33     prefix other than '/usr/local' by giving 'configure' the
34     '--prefix=PATH' option.
35
36   * You can choose the score file's location via 'configure''s
37     '--sharedstatedir' option.  On Linux you should use
38
39          --sharedstatedir=/var/games
40
41     to comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
42
43   * Moon-buggy supports shared score files.  As explained in
44     moon-buggy's manual, you may want to make moon-buggy a setgid
45     program.  This can be done with the '--with-setgid' option.  If
46     you use
47
48          --with-setgid=games
49
50     then the installation process arranges everything for setgid usage.
51
52     CAUTION: this introduces potential security risks.  I tried to
53     minimise these, but nevertheless be careful with this.  And
54     remember: moon-buggy comes with no warranty.
55
56   * If your version of the curses library is not autodetected, you
57     have to use some of the '--with-curses-includedir',
58     '--with-curses-header', and '--with-curses-libs' options.  For
59     example you should use
60
61          --with-curses-includedir=/usr/pkg/include
62
63     if your curses header files are in "/usr/pkg/include/".  You may
64     use
65
66          --with-curses-header="<mycurses.h>"
67
68     if your curses header is called "mycurses.h".  And you may use
69
70          --with-curses-libs="-L/usr/pkg/lib -lncurses"
71
72     if your curses library is called "ncurses.a" and is located in
73     "/usr/pkg/lib/".
74
75
76   Example: On GNU/Linux systems you probably can use the following
77commands.  For the last one you need root user permissions.
78
79     ./configure --sharedstatedir=/var/games --mandir=/usr/share/man \
80       --with-setgid=games
81     make
82     make install
