1) `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code
(If you're reading this file you're probably already there)

2) Configure the package
./configure

4) Compile the programs
make

5) Install the programs
make install

By default, the Cows and Cows-mkgen programs will be installed in 
/usr/local/bin, so you need to be root in order to run the last command.
If you don't have root privileges, don't worry. Cows executables are
in a subdirectory called `src'; you can run them within this directory
or move them elsewhere.

Otherwise, you can install the package in your home directory; simply follow
the steps above running `configure' with the option `--bindir=DIR',
where DIR is the target directory.
