Quick Install: configure to your local setup (have a look at): ./configure --help (or ./conf-tin) check your local setup in: include/autoconf.h compile with: make build (or cd src && make) install with: make install Install and use at your own risk. For a more detailed description of all the configure options read doc/INSTALL. Note that tin requires a valid fully qualified domain name for the host you are running tin on. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HOST NAME WITH A VALID DOMAIN GO AND GET ONE AND CONFIGURE YOUR HOST -- NOW! (This will prevent problems with other software, too.) Otherwise users may get "Invalid Sender" error messages and won't be able to post using the internal inews. As the included pcre library is slightly outdated linking against a newer version is recommended (configure --with-pcre ; see doc/INSTALL for details). Before mailing a bug-report to tin-bugs@tin.org please check if you are using the latest (stable) release, and if not, please upgrade first! Have a look at the doc/TODO file for known bugs. If you still think you've found a bug, please use the mail_bugreport function (shift-R) and write in English. Please do NOT enclose a core-file in your bugreport until we request it. The latest release is available at: <ftp://ftp.tin.org/pub/news/clients/tin/current/> or its mirrors. If you have additional questions or would like to be informed about the latest new features/version you may subscribe to the (developers) tin mailing lists via <http://lists.tin.org/> and/or read news.software.readers.
