Gnutran installation instructions
=================================

(These installation instructions cover UNIX systems  only -- 
 Linux, Solaris, etc. For installation on 
 win32 machines, see the file INSTALL.win32)

0. Check configuration options and defaults by doing

  ./configure --help

1. Do 

 ./configure [--prefix=directory-where-you-want-gnutran-to-be-intalled] \
             [--with-emacs] 

  (Use --with-emacs if you normally use FSF Emacs,  use 
	 --with-xemacs otherwise. See step 0. 
	NB.: compiling with --with-emacs seems to be safer, as xemacs
       bytecode appears to cause FSF emacs to crash at times.
  NB2: You'll need super-user privileges in order to install
       the package in the standard emacs directories (/usr/share,
			 etc). If you don't have (super user) write access to the
			 standard emacs directories, please specify a directory 
       for which you do, such as "/home/yourlogin/yourdir" by 
       invoking 
                ./configure --prefix=/home/yourlogin/yourdir
   )

2. Do 

   make

3. Do 

   make install

4. Optionally do

   make dotemacs 

	 (which will modify your ~/.emacs files so that gnutran can
    be evoked by as shown below)

5. Start emacs and do

   ESC-x gnutran <RET>

   (a Gnutran menu item will appear on the menu bar (or on the "Apps"
    menu, if you run Xemacs.
	  Have fun.)
