Brief man pages are in man/*, but they are no +substitute for the documentation. + +Please see the file ABOUT-NLS for notes about translations. + +Please see the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation +instructions. Briefly, you can run "./configure; make install". The +command "./configure --help" lists the supported --enable and --with +options. + +If you have a problem with internationalization, you might be able to +work around it as described in ABOUT-NLS by invoking `./configure +--disable-nls'. Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking +issues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library). Such +problems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these +platforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU +installation. If you have an older version of libiconv, please +upgrade to the latest one; see . If +the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though, please report a bug. + +This program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later).
