Requirements
------------
You will need a C++98 compiler and the library ncurses.
(gcc 3.3.6 or newer is recommended).
I use gcc 6.1.0 and 3.3.6, and ncurses 5.9 and 5.6, but the code should
compile with any standards compliant compiler and any recent enough ncurses.
Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org
Lzip is available at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html


Procedure
---------
1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:

	tar -xf adcd[version].tar.lz
or
	lzip -cd adcd[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -

This creates the directory ./adcd[version] containing the source code
extracted from the archive.

2. Change to adcd directory and run configure.
   (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).

	cd adcd[version]
	./configure

3. Run make.

	make

4. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and
   documentation. You need root privileges to install into a prefix owned
   by root.

   Or type 'make install-compress', which additionally compresses the
   man page after installation.
   (Installing compressed docs may become the default in the future).

   You can install only the program or the man page by typing
   'make install-bin' or 'make install-man' respectively.


Another way
-----------
You can also compile adcd into a separate directory.
To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the variable
'VPATH', such as GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the directory where you want the
object files and executables to go and run the 'configure' script.
'configure' automatically checks for the source code in '.', in '..', and
in the directory that 'configure' is in.

'configure' recognizes the option '--srcdir=DIR' to control where to look
for the source code. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory
automatically.

After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as
explained above.
