PCP has been developed and tested on GNU/Linux/i386 platform (Fedora
Core 4), using the Free Software Foundation gcc compiler. It has also
been verified to build and run on RedHat Linux 9.0, RedHat WSEL 3.0
and Cygwin. The code uses standard ANSI C, very basic C++, and FORTRAN
77 (for a subset of the Lapack library). It is built using the GNU
Autoconf build system, therefore it should be easily portable to any
UNIX-like platform.

This guide assumes you have downloaded and unpacked the
distribution. See README file for details.

To build PCP, type

% ./configure
% make

in the top-level distribution directory. This produces executable
named `pcp' (`pcp.exe' on Cygwin) and places it in the current
directory. This completes the process - the pcp executable is all you
need. You may copy it to a system-wide directory, or just run it from
the distribution directory.

To clean up the binary, object files and dependency files:

% make clean

To prepare for a build on another platform, type:

% make distclean
