         ...the ACME Crossassembler for Multiple Environments

                        --- Linux  version ---


This file only describes stuff that is specific to the Linux version
of ACME. So if you are looking for more general things, you should
take a look at "docs/Help.txt".




***   Compiling and installing the executable:

Change into the directory "acme008/sources" that was created when
unpacking the archive and simply type "make". This will leave you with
a binary file. Change into superuser mode using "su" and type
"make install" to move the executable to the appropriate directory.
Feel free to adjust the Makefile to your specific needs.




***   Installing the library:

The directory "ACME_Lib" contains a bunch of files that may be useful.
Okay, there's hardly anything in it at the moment, but it will
hopefully grow over time.
Copy the ACME_Lib directory to a place you think is appropriate. You
will have to set up an environment variable called "ACME" to allow the
main program to find this directory tree.

In bash:

    set ACME="/my/path/to/ACME_Lib" ; export ACME

You don't *have* to install the library just to use ACME, but it
doesn't hurt to install it - even the supplied example program uses
the library.




***   Miscellaneous:

ACME was tested and prepared on Redhat 5.2 but it should work on any
Linux distribution and on other Unices aswell (if not, then let me
know and i'll fix it ASAP).
