INSTALL - ESP Package Manager (EPM) 3.0
---------------------------------------

WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR EPM?

    On your development system you just need a C compiler, a make
    program, the Bourne (or Korn or Bash) shell, and gzip.

    The graphical setup program needs a C++ compiler and the FLTK
    library, available at "http://www.fltk.org".

    EPM can generate so-called "portable" distributions that are based
    on shell scripts and tar files.  For these types of distributions
    your customers/users will need the Bourne (or Korn or Bash) shell,
    a tar program, and GNU zip. The first two are standard items, and
    GNU zip is being shipped by most vendors as well.

    EPM can also generate vendor-specific distributions.  These require
    the particular vendor tool (rpm, dpkg, etc.) to load the software.


HOW DO I COMPILE EPM?

    EPM uses GNU autoconf to configure itself for your system.  To build
    it, use:

        ./configure ENTER
	make ENTER

    The default installation prefix is /usr; if you want to put EPM in
    /usr/local, do:

        ./configure --prefix=/usr/local ENTER
	make ENTER

    Once EPM is compiled you can type:

        su ENTER
	make install ENTER

    to install the software in /usr/bin.
