The text files in this directory are also included in the tar file. Use gunzip and tar to decompress the archive and extract its contents. First copy the file drivers.list from the distribution directory to the target directory, and then use a text editor to select device drivers. Do not select these drivers unless you are planning to develop programs that will use them. Operating-system and compiler information is obtained from a configuration file .
Configuration files are available for the following systems.
If your configuration is not one of those listed, or if you have trouble using the generated makefile, see below for information about creating your own configuration file. Note that the configuration files are for particular compilers, on particular operating systems. You will have to create a special configuration file. The first argument supplied to makemake is the name of the distribution directory. Note that when you run makemake , your current default directory should be the target directory, i.e., the directory in which you want to put the compiled library.
