- In the course of my project of the last couple hours of making
- available recent, posix-free, optimized, obese, reasonably configured
- binaries of some of the more common free programs and libraries, here
- is readline-2.0. To install on a typical system, just enter the
- directory and 'make install'. Installing the man and info pages from
- the doc directory has to be done by hand.
-
- If you need to change compilation options to adapt the binaries to
- local requirements (e.g. to change what architectures to compile for
- -- the default is quad-fat), do _not_ rerun configure. Instead edit
- config.status, rerun it and remake. It has been manually altered to
- correct for some of the mistakes of the auto-configuration.

- I made a couple of mods to Carl's distribution.
-
- 1) removed configure-- if you really want to reconfigure the source,
- download the original distribution.
- 2) changed the optimization to '-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer'; this seems
- to be an acceptably bug-free level of optimization.
- 3) removed depedency upon /usr/local/bin/install
