Move the distributed source to its own directory and 28 unpack it by running "sh" on the distribution files, 29 if you have not already done so. 30 312. Type "sh linstall" and answer the questions it asks. 32 This will generate a makefile and a defines.h. 33 34 If you choose not to include some features in your version, 35 you may wish to edit the manual page "less.nro" and the help 36 page "less.help" to remove the references to the appropriate 37 commands or options. 38 393. It is a good idea to look over the generated makefile 40 and make sure it looks ok. 41 424. Type "make" and watch the fun. 43 445. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less" 45 in your current directory. Test the generated program. 46 476. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it 48 in a public place, type "make install". 49 50If you have any problems building or running "less", 51suggestions, complaints, etc., you may mail to the 52author via USENET at: 53 sun \ 54 decwrl } !pyramid!ctnews!mitisft!markn 55 ihnp4!hplabs / 56 57 58Note to hackers: comments noting possible improvements are enclosed 59in double curly brackets {{ like this }}. 60
