Installation of Read has been set up using GNU Autotools, and as such follows the standard installation pattern:

./configure
make
make install

Configuration

By default, read is installed to the /usr/local/bin directory. If you do not have sufficient permissions to install to this location, i.e. you are not root, the installation directory can be customised using the --prefix option on configure:

./configure --prefix=/location/to/install

The default C compiler is the GNU C Compiler, gcc. This can be changed as required by setting the CC variable on configure. For example, for the Intel C Compiler:

./configure CC=icc

Additional settings can be customised as required. To view all options, use the --help option on configure:

./configure --help

Installation

Once configuration is complete, simply run the make and make install commands. The installed files can be found within the installation directory at:

If you have not installed Read into the /usr/local/bin directory, you will need to add the directories of the Read binary and manual page to your $PATH and $MANPATH environment variables respectively.
