- This directory contains GNU tput, a program to enable shell scripts to
- portably use special terminal capabilities. Although its interface is
- similar to that of terminfo-based tput programs, it actually uses termcap.
-
- To compile:
-
- 1. Type `./configure'. This shell script attempts to guess correct
- values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation,
- and creates the file `Makefile'. This takes a minute or so.
-
- If your system requires unusual options for compilation or linking
- that `configure' doesn't know about, you can give `configure' initial
- values for variables by setting them in the environment; in
- Bourne-compatible shells, you can do that on the command line like
- this:
- $ CC='gcc -traditional' LIBS=-lposix ./configure
-
- 2. If you want to change the directory where the program will be
- installed, or the optimization options, edit `Makefile' and change
- those values. If you have an unusual system that needs special
- compilation options that `configure' doesn't know about, and you
- didn't pass them in the environment when running `configure', you
- should add them to `Makefile' now. Alternately, teach `configure' how
- to figure out that it is being run on a system where they are needed,
- and mail the diffs to the address listed at the end of this file so we
- can include them in the next release.
-
- 3. Type `make'.
-
- 4. If the program compiles successfully, type `make install' to
- install it.
-
- 5. After you have installed the program, you can remove the binary
- from the source directory by typing `make clean'. Type `make
- realclean' if you also want to remove `Makefile', for instance if you
- are going to recompile next on another type of machine.
-
- To do for POSIX:
- Add `init' and `reset' options.
