16*a1bf3f78SToomas SoomeINSTALLATION
17*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome
18*a1bf3f78SToomas SoomeFicl builds out-of-the-box on the following platforms:
19*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome	* NetBSD, FreeBSD: use "Makefile".
20*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome	* Linux: use "Makefile.linux", but it should work with
21*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome	  "Makefile" as well.
22*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome	* Win32: use "ficl.dsw" / "ficl.dsp".
23*a1bf3f78SToomas SoomeTo port to other platforms, we suggest you start with the generic
24*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome"Makefile" and the "unix.c" / "unix.h" platform-specific implementation
25*a1bf3f78SToomas Soomefiles.  (And please--feel free to submit your portability changes!)
26*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome
27*a1bf3f78SToomas Soome(Note: Ficl used to build under RiscOS, but we broke everything
28*a1bf3f78SToomas Soomefor the 4.0 release.  Please fix it and send us the diffs!)
