    1 Installwatch has been tested on Linux only.
    2 
    3 To compile it, a simple `make' followed by `make install' should do
    4 the magic.
    5 
    6 By default, it will install itself to /usr/local/{bin,lib}
    7 but you can change that by specifying PREFIX during install as in
    8 
    9   make
   10   make PREFIX=/usr install
   11 
   12 Also, for packagers and such, Makefile obeys DESTDIR ala Autotools.
   13 
   14 You need an ELF system, but I don't think it's a problem today...

   16 Let me know if things go wrong. My address is izto@mayams.net
   17 Don't forget to tell me your OS version, libraries version and every
   18 other relevant detail.

   20 If you want to try installwatch on itself for the first time, do
   21 the following instead of `make install'.
   22 
   23 Bash family:
   24 
   25 LD_PRELOAD=./installwatch.so make install
   26 
   27 Tcsh family:
   28 
   29 setenv LD_PRELOAD ./installwatch.so ; make install
   30 
   31 Of course, you must be root in the installwatch source directory.
   32 Remember, if you belong to the tcsh family, LD_PRELOAD will remain
   33 set after `make install', so be sure to clear the variable.
