README for make+

This package uses 'make+' - the sane replacement for autoconf/automake.

Bundled along with this package you should find a makeplus-NNN/ subdirectory. This contains the version of makeplus which was used when this package was created. You now have three choices:

1. If you already have a recent version of make+ installed on your computer, then just ignore this subdirectory. You should be able to build this package just by doing:

        ./configure
        make+
        make+ test
        make+ install           # As root

2. If you do not have make+ installed or you want to use the bundled version of make+ because it is newer, then you can do:

MAKEPLUS_HOME=`pwd`/makeplus-* ; export MAKEPLUS_HOME

        oldpath=$PATH
        PATH=$MAKEPLUS_HOME:$PATH ; export PATH

        ./configure
        make+
        make+ test
        make+ install           # As root

        PATH=$oldpath

3. Or you can go to the website to download the latest version of make+, install it and then proceed with the instructions in (1) above. The website is:
