4INSTALLATION
5
6Just type 'make' then 'make install' to install to /usr/local.
7If you want it installed to a different directory, type
8'make install PREFIX=/yourdir'. You can also specify BINDIR and
9MANDIR separately.
10
11The generic Makefile should work on most systems. However, if
12you are running Solaris you should type 'make solaris', and users
13of QNX should type 'make qnx'. The Makefile uses gcc by default,
14so you should edit the first 2 lines of the Makefile if you are
15using another compiler.
16
17Also see base/newspost.h for some compile-time options.
