Please read the files (especially README.Makefiles) in the
husky-common (huskybse) package FIRST! If you don't have this package you
should download it from http://husky.sourceforge.net/


Instructions to build hpt from sources.
---------------------------------------

0. The smapi and the fidoconfig packages is required for the hpt package. They
   must be already compiled (and installed if uses shared libraries).
   These libraries must be the exactly same version as hpt (and date for
   -current branch).

1. Put the hpt package in the directory where the other packages of fido
   husky reside:

   unix, beos, cygwin:
   -------------------
   /usr/src/packages/        -> huskybse/
                             -> smapi/
                             -> fidoconfig/
                             -> hpt/
                             ...some other

   windows, dos, os/2 & etc:
   -------------------------
   d:\husky\                 -> smapi\
                             -> fidoconf\
                             -> hpt\
                             ...some other

2. Determine which makefile you need to use then compile (and install if need)
   hpt using selected makefile, as following examples:
   Example 1 (use common makefile (named 'Makefile'): require huskymak.cfg (see
              huskybse); unixes only):
	$ make
	$ make install
   Example 2 (use platfom-specific makefile from make subdirectory):
   linux:
        $ cd make
	$ make -f makefile.lnx
	$ make -f makefile.lnx install
   dos (DJGPP GCC):
        d:\husky\hpt\make>make -f makefile.djg
   windows (MS Visual C/C++):
        d:\husky\hpt\make>nmake -f makefile.mvc

5. Write a fido config according to the documentation of fidoconfig and hpt.
   Always test the config after changes with the tparser tool (from fidoconfig
   package).

You're ready.


Instructions to use precompiled binary packages.
------------------------------------------------

0. The smapi and the fidoconfig packages is required for the hpt package. They
   must be already compiled (and installed if uses shared libraries).
   These libraries must be the exactly same version as hpt (and date for
   -current branch).

1. If you already have precompiled binaries - just unpack packages:
   smapi, fidoconfig and hpt. All unpack into same directory!

2. Copy config example into binaries directory, edit your config and test the
config with the tparser tool (from fidoconfig package).

You're ready.
