INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
-----------------------

To compile and install Cooledit will take less than 8MB. About 
1MB will remain after you have deleted the source tree (ix86 though).
If you're superuser, feel lazy, and are sure that you have Python
and xpm installed properly, just un-tar the package and type
    ./0install-quick
or
    sh ./0install-quick
in the top source directory. Otherwise read on.


SUMMARY:
--------

Of course Cooledit will have to be in your PATH and libraries in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I get a lot of mail asking how to install Cooledit on
non-Linux systems. Please DON'T ask for help if you have never
installed a package from source before, are trying to do some weird kind
of install, or generally have no clue what you are doing, since I no longer
have time to answer generic installation questions. Most experienced
Unix users will be able to get Cooledit compiled and installed in a few
minutes on any Unix system, and there is plenty of help available from
others on the Internet --- especially as regards installing GNU
standards compliant packages.


(-2) Install the xpm package from ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
(-1) Install the Python distribution from http://www.python.org/
(O) un-tar package in /usr/src
(1) ./configure
(2) make
(3) make install
(4) Optionally add the command `coolicon -M <mail-file>' to one of the X
        startup scripts. This is done automatically to the
	/usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc script. Check to see what was done.

((
You may type
    make uninstall
to uninstall Cooledit.
))

DETAILS:
--------

Coolicon requires libXpm.so (or libXpm.a) and xpm.h to be present on your
system. These come from the libXpm library:
    ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-?.?.tar.gz
Without this Coolicon will not compile. Cooledit may however be installed
without Coolicon by doing: cd editor ; make ; make install

Cooledit requires Python to be installed. This is optional, but highly
recommended, since it allows Cooledit to be custom programmed with
beautiful Python scripts. Download Python from http://www.python.org/
If you are downloading a binary distribution, then the full developement
version (i.e containing the files libpython?.?.a and Python.h) is
needed.

You may compile Cooledit as a user, but you need to be root to
do a system install. You do, of course, have to have the X Window System
working on your machine.
    Copy the file cooledit-3.17.5.tar.gz to the directory you would
like to compile in, preferably '/usr/local/src' or '/usr/src', and
then change to that directory. (You can also compile in your home
directory.)


Then type,
    tar -xvzf cooledit-3.17.5.tar.gz
or
    gzip -cd cooledit-3.17.5.tar.gz | tar xvf -
(whichever works).

Then type,
    cd cooledit-3.17.5

((
   if you have a patch file you can now type
      gzip -cd patch_file_name | patch -p1 -s
))

You can then configure the package by just typing,
    ./configure
However if you would like to set compiler optimisations, for a
smaller binary, type,
    CFLAGS=-O ./configure
or,
    setenv CFLAGS -O
    ./configure
whichever works on your shell. (Use -O2 instead of
-O if your compiler supports this. If you have gcc use
CFLAGS='-O2 -s -Wall -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer' ./configure)
English speakers should alternatively do a
    ./configure --disable-nls
to avoid compilation problems on some non-Linux systems.


Finally type
    make
to compile (which will take ages). Then type
    make install
to install, or (for a smaller binary),
    make install-strip


Finally, Coolicon must be envoked with your window manager. Coolicon
can co-exist with whatever window manager you are using. You might
put the command
    coolicon -M <mail-file> &
in you .xinitrc file in your home directory or in the system wide xinit
file (see the xinit man page and the coolicon man page for more details).

Done.

I have personally tested Cooledit on a few systems, and it has been
used by others on many systems. It will certainly work on most ANSI
compatible systems. Please email me with patches to fix any compile
problems, as I'd like to support all the Unix clones that I can. Most
compile problems are quite trivial to fix. If you have problems
installing on non-Linux systems, and have no experience installing
GNU packages, then please ask your local LUG before emailing me.

You can remove the entire source after you have finished
reading the file COPYING, which contains the licensing
agreement. The FAQ though might be useful, as well as the file
INTERNATIONAL. Other files beginning with capital letters provide
further documentation and may be copied to a directory,
/usr/doc/cooledit. As of version 3.3.3, Cooledit is
dynamically linked. This means that Coolwidgets (libCw) is
installed as a proper shared library. You may not like this
arrangement and prefer the statically linked version. In this
case use the --disable-shared option to ./configure
