                     Compiling and Installing pgpgpg
                   ===================================

    Pgpgpg uses the well known GNU autoconf/automake framework to provide an 
easy to use configure script to compile and install pgpgpg.
    
    In the section named `Prerequisites' you will find a list with all
programms and tools needed to run and/or compile pgpgpg.

    In the `Quick Install' section you will find a short step by step
procedure to configure, compile and install pgpgpg from the source
distribution.

    To find out more about pgpgpg specific configure options look at the 
section named `Supported Options'.

    To find out all about standard features provided by configure please
look at the file named INSTALL.generic. This file is provided by the 
GNU autoconf/automake framework and discuss all aspects of using configure.



Prerequisites
-------------
To run pgpgpg you need gpg (Gnu Privacy Guard) release XXX or newer.

    To build and install pgpgpg you need an ANSI C compiler and a make tool.
Pgpgpg is developed under Linux with the Gnu C Compiler (gcc) and Gnu Make
but normally pgpgpg should compile with all ANSI C compilers and most make
tool available on unix plattforms. If you encounter in some trouble on
compiling pgpgpg with a specific compiler please feel free to drop me a mail.



Quick Install
-------------
Make sure that your current working directory is equal to the root directoy of
the pgpgpg source distribution and then perform these steps:

    1.) Run configure to determine all plattform specific issues by typing 
        "./configure".

    2.) Type "make" to compile pgpgpg.

    3.) To install pgpgpg just type "make install".

The resulting binary is called `pgpgpg' and will be by default installed in 
/usr/local/bin/pgpgpg.



Supported Options
-----------------
    --enable-debug
    
        With this option you can request debugging message printing during
        pgpgpg execution. This is only usefull for bug hunting or if you
        would like participate on pgpgpg developing.

    --with-gpg-path=GPG_PATH
        
        GPG_PATH is a path to the gpg programm executable. If you omit this 
        option, configure tries to find gpg in your current $PATH environment.
