Prerequistes for installation: You must have perl 5.005 or newer somewhere on your system. Installation instructions: If you want to test makepp out, you can run makepp without installing it. To run the test suite, cd to the makepp directory and type "make test". If you want to run makepp on your own makefiles, either put the directory you unpacked it in your path, or else run it explicitly like this: perl /where/you/unpacked/it/makepp If you want to install it, then cd to the directory you unpacked the distribution into and type: perl install.pl This will ask you where you want to put the various pieces, and will then install them as requested. Or you can also do: configure --prefix=/usr/local make install which will run the regression tests as well. (You must run this procedure with perl 5.005 or newer.)
