Installing magicd					-*- text -*-
**************

For compiling and installing magicd on a system, please follow these
instructions.


To build a complete magicd from sources, you need:

   * The  C compiler , including a matching
     C runtime library . We recommend GNU C compiler.
     
   * A `make' program.  We recommend GNU make.  
   
   
If (and only if) you make changes to the magicd sources, or if you build
magicd from a CVS archive, you may also need:

   * `automake' (after changes to Makefile templates)
   * `autoconf' (after changes to configuration files)
   * `autoscan' (after changes to parser and scanner files)
   
Basic Installation
==================

Basically, to build and install magicd from sources, you enter three
commands:

	$ ./configure
	$ make
	$ make install


Installation Names
------------------

By default, `make install' will install the magicd files in
your current working directory.  You can specify an
installation prefix other than your current working directory by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'.i.e. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local.
