For most users the following should be sufficient:

	make
	make install DESTDIR="pkg"  # install to ./pkg temporarily instead
	                            # of to /, installed files can then be
	                            # moved by root.

Note however, `make install` will not run `install-info'
to add the info manual to `info '(dir)'`. Distributors
should postinstall and preuninstall commands:

	infodir="usr/share/info"
	
	post_install() {
	  install-info -- "${infodir}/scrotty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
	}
	
	post_upgrade() {
	  post_install "$1"
	}
	
	pre_uninstall() {
	  install-info --delete -- "${infodir}/scrotty.info" "${infodir}/dir"
	}

If you want to install absolutely everything, you can
instead use the commands below:

	make everything
	make install-everything DESTDIR="pkg"

Or if you only want to absolute basics:

	make base
	make install-base DESTDIR="pkg"


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
INTERNATIONALISATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If you want to do not want internationalisation build and install
with WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1. For example:

	make base WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1
	make install-base WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1 DESTDIR="pkg"

You can also chose to restrict the locales to install:

	make all LOCALES=sv
	make install LOCALES=sv DESTDIR="pkg"

You can select which translations of the man page you want to
install too:

	make install MAN_LOCALES=sv DESTDIR="pkg"


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CUSTOMISED COMPILATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If you do not have GCC, you may want to set WARN to an empty string:

	make WARN=

The makefile is configured to compile the C code with -O2, you can
change this by setting OPTIMISE:

	make OPTIMISE="-Og -g"

If you want to build the package with another prefix the /usr, set
PREFIX:

	make PREFIX=/usr/local

See the beginning of the Makefile for further file system hierarchy
customisations. These changes, including PREFIX, should be used both
when compiling and installing.


────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CUSTOMISED INSTALLATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

You can select freely what parts of the package to install and not
to install. This rules are available:

install, install-everything, install-base, and install-cmd, have alternatives
that installs a stripped binary: install-strip, install-everything-strip,
install-base-strip, and install-cmd-strip, respectively.

The untranslated man page is installed via the rule install-man-untranslated.
Additional translations are installed via the rule install-man-locale, which
installes the locales listed in MAN_LOCALES.
