34 The autoconfiguration script will spend a bit of time figuring out the
35 specifics of your system. If you want to specify a particular compiler

37 variable CC before you run configure.
43 This will compile popclient for your system. Lastly, become root and
48 This will install popclient. By default, popclient will be installed
49 in /usr/local/bin, with the man page in /usr/local/man/man1, and the
50 GNU info file in /usr/local/info. If you wish to change these defaults,
51 edit the Makefile AFTER you run "configure" but BEFORE you run
52 "make install." You can easily choose a prefix other than /usr/local,
53 or you can choose completely different directories for each item.
55 See the file sample.poprc for a description of configuring your
56 individual preferences.
