6 This is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg".
|
|
|
7 The manual page is in less.man (nroff source in less.nro).
|
|
|
8 Major changes made since the last posted version are in CHANGES.

10 INSTALLATION (Unix systems only):
|
|
|
11
|
|
|
12 1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and
|
|
|
13 unpack it by running "sh" or "unshar" on the distribution
|
|
|
14 files, if you have not already done so.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 2. Type "sh linstall" and answer the questions it asks.
|
|
|
17 This will generate a makefile and a defines.h.
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 If you choose not to include some features in your version,
|
|
|
20 you may wish to edit the manual page "less.nro" and the help
|
|
|
21 page "less.help" to remove the references to the appropriate
|
|
|
22 commands or options.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 3. It is a good idea to look over the generated makefile
|
|
|
25 and make sure it looks ok.
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 4. Type "make" and watch the fun.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 5. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less"
|
|
|
30 in your current directory. Test the generated program.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 6. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
|
|
|
33 in a public place, type "make install".
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 If you have any problems building or running "less",
|
|
|
36 suggestions, complaints, etc., you may mail to the
|
|
|
