calc/HOWTO.INSTALL

Installing calc in 4 easy steps:

    1) Look at the makefile, and adjust it to suit your needs.

       Here are some Makefile hints:

	   Select a compiler set by commenting in the appropriate set
	   of cc options.  As shipped the Makefile assumes a gcc-like
	   environment such as Linux.  If a more appropriate cc set if
	   found below, comment out the Linux set and comment in that
	   set or edit the gcc set or the common cc set as needed.

	   You may or may not need RANLIB when building libraries.
	   As shipped the Makefile assumes RANLIB is needed.
	   Comment the in/out the RANLIB value if ranlib does
	   not work or does not exist.

	   You may want to change the default pager used by calc.
	   As shipped the Makefile assumes 'more'.  On your system
	   you may find 'less' to be a better pager.

	   The CALCBINDINGS is matter of personal taste.  As shipped
	   the Makefile assumes a default quasi-emacs-like command
	   line editor.	 Changing CALCBINDINGS= altbind will cause ^D
	   to end calc in a fashion similar to that of the bc(1) command.

	   Set TOPDIR to be the place under which help files, calc,
	   include files and calc libs are to be installed.  As shipped
	   the Makefile assumes a TOPDIR of /usr/local/lib.

	   Set BINDIR to the place where calc is installed.  As shipped
	   the Makefile assumes a BINDIR /usr/local/bin.

	   Adjust other Makefile variables as needed.

    2) build calc:

	make all

	==> We are interested in any compiler warnings (and errors) that
	    you may find.  See the BUGS file if you find any compiler
	    warning or errors.

    3) test calc:

	make check

	==> If you run into problems, follow the BUGS file instructions.

    4) install calc:

	make install

We suggest that you might want to read the README file and look at
the calc help subsystem.  See the README file for details.
