Installation notes for Manauton
***************************


This version of Manauton can be compiled and installed under GNU/Linux
systems which have ether OSS or ALSA installed.  If there is interest,
I can easily port Manauton to other Unixes once I have the sound API
specifications.

1. Configuring and compiling and installing
============================

  The release comes with an auto-configuring script created using the
  GNU autoconf package; this script must be executed before compiling
  Manauton to detect the characteristics of your machine and specify
  the Sound API.

  To execute the configuration script, enter the top directory of
  the distribution and type:

    ./configure <options>

  There are several options available, and some of them are not
  necessary for the configuration. The important ones are:

    --prefix=PREFIX (default is `/usr/local/')
    --bindir=DIR (default is `PREFIX/bin')

      Specify the place where the Manauton executable and support files
      will be installed.

    --with-oss
    --with-alsa

      Specify which sound API you would like to build into
      Manauton. Only one may be specified. If neither is specified,
      the script will look for the ALSA libraries to determine whether
      to compile for ALSA or OSS.

  When the configure script has finished, the necessary Makefiles
  will be produced and you can simply type

    make

  Once the build process is complete you install by typing

      make install

  The Manauton executable will be placed in the binary directory
  chosen by the ./configure script, which is /usr/local/bin by
  default. There are no installed documentation or man files at the
  time of this writing.


2. Configure script release notes
============================

  This is my first attempt at using the GNU autoconf system. I have
  tested it out on my system. If you find a bug in this autoconf setup
  please report it to me at sfeil@io.com .
