The HPUX.Install file is written by the person who put the
software package on the archive and it usually describes
the steps taken by the porter to configure and compile the
code on their system. It also (usually) describes the steps
you must take to configure and compile the code to run on
your system.
If the information you need is not in this file, try the
README*, INSTALL, and Makefile files for additional hints
on configuring and compiling the package.
Please note that compiling and installing software packages
frequently requires far more support from a system than
simply installing a pre-compiled binary package. It may
well be necessary to install additional tools or upgrade/patch
the system so that the software will compile properly.
The Centre is very careful to keep their machines up-to-date
and they already have all of the required software tools
necessary to build and install the software on the archive.
