Basic installation
------------------

To install this package you need to first decide yourself where you want to
install it.
By default the package will install in ${prefix}/share/WindowMaker
with ${prefix} defaulting to /usr/local
To accomplish this simply type:

./configure
make install

and you're done. (Don't forget to become root before doing "make install").

If you want to use other path then you should do the following:

./configure --prefix=/your/path
make install

Of course replace /your/path with the actual path where you want it to
install. And obviously become root before "make install", if the path is a
system path and not writable by you as user.

For example if you want to install them in /usr instead of /usr/local do:

./configure --prefix=/usr
[become root]
make install

and it will go to /usr/share/WindowMaker


Advanced installation topics
----------------------------

 To have a better control over the installation path you can use --datadir
option instead of --prefix when you configure.
 If not specified ${datadir} is same as ${prefix}/share.
If you specify --datadir, the path to install will be: ${datadir}/WindowMaker,
and the --prefix setting will no longer have any meaning.

 Also there is another option that lets you control where the icons will be
installed. By default they are installed only for the use of WindowMaker,
in ${datadir}/WindowMaker/Icons.
 If you want them to be placed in another path, presumably in a public place
where icons stay on your system, you can use --with-iconsdir=PATH option
when you configure.

 For example this will install the extra package like default, except icons
will be placed in a public place (/usr/local/share/pixmaps):

./configure --with-iconsdir=/usr/local/share/pixmaps
make install


Here's another example how to install it only for your personal use (no root
priviledges are required for this case):

./configure --datadir=~/GNUstep/Library --with-iconsdir=~/GNUstep/Library/Icons
make install

which will put icons in ~/GNUstep/Library/Icons,
and the rest in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker.
