Compilation

once you untarred source ( or got it from a source control ) best is to look at README provided in it.

cat README

where you will understand that you have to read another file INSTALL :

cat INSTALL

Depending on your platform you will have to pick up the right INSTALL by example INSTALL.W64. Default is for Unix based systems.

make install
