Example:

ucwhatever INSTALL instructions:

spy [4246]> less INSTALL 
Like any other piece of software (and information generally), ucspi-tcp
comes with NO WARRANTY.


Things you have to decide before starting:

* The ucspi-tcp home directory, normally /usr/local. To change this
directory, edit conf-home now.


How to install:

 1. Compile the programs and create the formatted man pages:
       % make

 2. Install the programs and man pages:
       # make setup check


That's it! To report success:
       % ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Replace First M. Last with your name.


chmod 755 compile
./compile tcpclient.c
./compile: cc: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `tcpclient.o'
spy [4228]> cat compile 
#!/bin/sh
# WARNING: This file was auto-generated. Do not edit!
exec cc -O2 -c ${1+"$@"}


Where does it say edit conf-cc and conf-ld ?
if I cat compile -- it says "cc" but that file is generate?

Of course, I could do something like:
spy [4250]> egrep -i "conf\-cc" *
FILES:conf-cc
Makefile:warn-auto.sh conf-cc
Makefile:       echo exec "`head -1 conf-cc`" '-c $${1+"$$@"}' \
Makefile:recordio.c argv0.1 argv0.c rts.sh rts.tests rts.exp conf-cc conf-ld \
Makefile:find-systype.sh conf-cc conf-ld trycpp.c
Makefile:       echo CC=\'`head -1 conf-cc`\'; \

and see that games being played with conf-cc ...
but then ld will fail, and I'll have to do the same for that after
the make fails.

Why not mention *this* in this INSTALL?

How many people here had to ask or figure this out for
themselves provided that they didn't have "cc" working?
