Requirements
------------
You will need a C++98 compiler with support for 'long long' and the library
ncurses. (gcc 3.3.6 or newer is recommended).
I use gcc 6.1.0 and 3.3.6, and ncurses 5.9 and 5.6, but the code should
compile with any standards compliant compiler and any recent enough ncurses.
Gcc is available at http://gcc.gnu.org.

The operating system must allow signal handlers read and write access to
objects with static storage duration so that the clock handler can update
the display and the cleanup handler can save the modified files if a fatal
signal is caught.


Procedure
---------
1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:

	tar -xf moe[version].tar.lz
or
	lzip -cd moe[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -

This creates the directory ./moe[version] containing the source code
extracted from the archive.

2. Change to moe directory and run configure.
   (Try 'configure --help' for usage instructions).

	cd moe[version]
	./configure

3. Run make.

	make

4. Type 'make install' to install the program and any data files and
   documentation.

   Or type 'make install-compress', which additionally compresses the
   info manual and the man page after installation.
   (Installing compressed docs may become the default in the future).

   You can install only the program, the info manual, or the man page by
   typing 'make install-bin', 'make install-info', or 'make install-man'
   respectively.


Another way
-----------
You can also compile moe into a separate directory.
To do this, you must use a version of 'make' that supports the variable
'VPATH', such as GNU 'make'. 'cd' to the directory where you want the
object files and executables to go and run the 'configure' script.
'configure' automatically checks for the source code in '.', in '..', and
in the directory that 'configure' is in.

'configure' recognizes the option '--srcdir=DIR' to control where to look
for the source code. Usually 'configure' can determine that directory
automatically.

After running 'configure', you can run 'make' and 'make install' as
explained above.
