-
-=========================================================================
-
-This is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg".
-
-The formatted manual page is in less.man.
-The manual page nroff source is in less.nro.
-Major changes made since the last posted version are in NEWS.
-
-=======================================================================
-INSTALLATION (Unix systems only):
-
-1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and unpack it,
- if you have not already done so.
-
-2. Type "sh configure".
- This will generate a Makefile and a defines.h.
- Warning: if you have a GNU sed, make sure it is version 2.05 or later.
-
- The file INSTALL describes the usage of the configure program in
- general. In addition, these options to configure are supported:
-
- --with-editor=program
- Specifies the default editor program used by the "v" command.
- The default is "vi".
-
- --with-regex=lib
- Specifies the regular expression library used by less for pattern
- matching. The default is "auto", which means the configure program
- finds a regular expression library automatically. Other values are:
- posix Use the POSIX-compatible regcomp.
- pcre Use the PCRE library.
- regcmp Use the regcmp library.
- re_comp Use the re_comp library.
- regcomp Use the V8-compatible regcomp.
- regcomp-local Use Henry Spencer's V8-compatible regcomp
- (source is supplied with less).
- --with-secure
- Builds a "secure" version of less, with some features disabled
- to prevent users from viewing other files, accessing shell
- commands, etc.
-
-
-3. It is a good idea to look over the generated Makefile and defines.h
- and make sure they look ok. If you know of any peculiarities of
- your system that configure might not have detected, you may fix the
- Makefile now. Take particular notice of the list of "terminal"
- libraries in the LIBS definition in the Makefile; these may need
- to be edited. The terminal libraries will be some subset of
- -lncurses -lcurses -ltermcap -ltermlib
-
- If you wish, you may edit defines.h to remove some optional features.
- If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
- wish to edit the manual page "less.nro" and the help page "less.hlp"
- to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
- If you edit less.hlp, you should run "make -f Makefile.aut help.c".
-
-4. Type "make" and watch the fun.
-
-5. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less",
- "lesskey" and "lessecho" in your current directory. Test the
- generated programs.
-
-6. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
- in a public place, type "make install".
-
- The default install destinations are:
- Executables (less, lesskey, lessecho) in /usr/local/bin
- Documentation (less.nro, lesskey.nro) in /usr/local/man/man1
- If you want to install any of these files elsewhere, define
- bindir and/or mandir to the appropriate directories.
-
-If you have any problems building or running "less", suggestions,
-complaints, etc., you may mail to the author at markn@greenwoodsoftware.com.
-
-Note to hackers: comments noting possible improvements are enclosed
-in double curly brackets {{ like this }}.

-
-
-=======================================================================
-INSTALLATION (MS-DOS systems only,
- with Microsoft C, Borland C, or DJGPP)
-
-1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
- Depending on your compiler, you may need to convert the source
- to have CR-LF rather than LF as line terminators.
-
-2. If you are using Microsoft C, rename MAKEFILE.DSU to MAKEFILE.
- If you are using Borland C, rename MAKEFILE.DSB to MAKEFILE.
- If you are using DJGPP, rename MAKEFILE.DSG to MAKEFILE.
-
-3. Look at MAKEFILE to make sure that the definitions for CC and LIBDIR
- are correct. CC should be the name of your C compiler and
- LIBDIR should be the directory where the C libraries reside (for
- Microsoft C only). If these definitions need to be changed, you can
- either modify the definitions directly in MAKEFILE, or set your
- environment variables CC and/or LIBDIR to override the definitions
- in MAKEFILE.
-
-4. If you wish, you may edit DEFINES.DS to remove some optional features.
- If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
- wish to edit the manual page LESS.MAN and the help page HELP.C
- to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
-
-5. Run your "make" program and watch the fun.
- If your "make" requires a flag to import environment variables,
- you should use that flag.
- If your compiler runs out of memory, try running "make -n >cmds.bat"
- and then run cmds.bat.
-
-6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "LESS.EXE" and
- "LESSKEY.EXE" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
-
-7. When satisfied that it works, you may wish to install LESS.EXE and
- LESSKEY.EXE in a directory which is included in your PATH.
-
-
-
-=======================================================================
-INSTALLATION (Windows-95, Windows-98 and Windows-NT systems only,
- with Borland C or Microsoft Visual C++)
-
-1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
-
-2. If you are using Borland C, rename Makefile.wnb to Makefile.
- If you are using Microsoft Visual C++, rename Makefile.wnm to Makefile.
-
-3. Check the Makefile to make sure the definitions look ok.
-
-4. If you wish, you may edit defines.wn to remove some optional features.
- If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
- wish to edit the manual page less.man and the help page help.c
- to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
-
-5. Type "make" and watch the fun.
-
-6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less.exe" and
- "lesskey.exe" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
-
-7. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
- in a public place, type "make install".
- See step 6 of the Unix installation instructions for details
- on how to change the default installation directories.
-
-
-
-=======================================================================
-INSTALLATION (OS/2 systems only,
- with EMX C)
-
-1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
-
-2. Rename Makefile.o2e to Makefile.
-
-3. Check the Makefile to make sure the definitions look ok.
-
-4. If you wish, you may edit defines.o2 to remove some optional features.
- If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
- wish to edit the manual page less.man and the help page help.c
- to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
-
-5. Type "make" and watch the fun.
-
-6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less.exe" and
- "lesskey.exe" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
-
-7. Make sure you have the emx runtime installed. You need the emx DLLs
- emx.dll and emxlibcs.dll and also the termcap database, termcap.dat.
- Make sure you have termcap.dat either in the default location or
- somewhere in a directory listed in the PATH or INIT environment
- variables.
-
-8. When satisfied that it works, you may wish to install less.exe,
- lesskey.exe and scrsize.exe in a directory which is included in
- your PATH. scrsize.exe is required only if you use a terminal
- emulator such as xterm or rxvt.
-
-
-
-=======================================================================
-INSTALLATION (OS-9 systems only,
- with Microware C or Ultra C)
-
-1. Move the distributed source to its own directory.
-
-2. If you are using Microware C, rename Makefile.o9c to Makefile.
- If you are using Ultra C, rename Makefile.o9u to Makefile.
-
-3. Check the Makefile to make sure the definitions look ok.
-
-4. If you wish, you may edit defines.o9 to remove some optional features.
- If you choose not to include some features in your version, you may
- wish to edit the manual page less.man and the help page help.c
- to remove the descriptions of the features which you are removing.
-
-5. Type "dmake" and watch the fun.
- The standard OS-9 "make" will probably not work. If you don't
- have dmake, you can get a copy from os9archive.rtsi.com.
-
-6. If the make succeeds, it will generate the programs "less" and
- "lesskey" in your current directory. Test the generated programs.
-
-7. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
- in a public place, type "dmake install".
- See step 6 of the Unix installation instructions for details
- on how to change the default installation directories.
