Type "make" to build the starlanes binaries, then sign on as root an type "make fakeinstall" which will, uh, pretend to install everything. If all the commands that it's going to execute look correct, go ahead and type "make install" (as root) to install the goods. I would like to claim that the reason there is no configure file is because for a small program a configure file would be overkill but the truth is that I don't as yet know how to make one. Hence the make file may need adjusting. For instance sometimes the curses program is called plain curses and sometimes ncurses It also expects there to be a /man/man6/ directory in which case you should Please, if you have any problems while installing let me, David, know ("dejvid@zamir.net" and "dejvid@barnsdle.demon.co.uk") even if you solve them. Of course you can always just change to the directory where you installed starlanes and type "./starlanes" David "dejvid@zamir.net" and "dejvid@barnsdle.demon.co.uk" This is a port to C from a version of Starlanes for the Osborne 1. The original source is from a First Osborne Group (FOG) disk that I probably picked up in 1982. The author isn't identified. Based on comments in a TRS-80 version I picked up off the web, it would appear that it was first published in Creative Computing magazine. -Beej beej@ecst.csuchico.edu
