The Zebra information server combines a versatile fielded/free-text
search engine with a Z39.50-1995 frontend to provide a powerful and flexible
server system — <tt/gcc/ works fine if your own system doesn't
provide an adequate compiler.
-Unpack the distribution archive. In some cases, you may want to edit
-the top-level <tt/Makefile/, eg. to select a different C compiler, or
-to specify machine-specific libraries in the <bf/ELIBS/ variable.
+Unpack the distribution archive. The <tt>configure</tt> shell script
+attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables
+used during compilation. It uses those values to create a 'Makefile' in
+each directory of Zebra.
-When you are done editing the <tt>Makefile</tt> type:
+To run the configure script type:
<tscreen><verb>
-$ make
+ ./configure
</verb></tscreen>
+The configure script attempts to use C compiler specified by
+the <tt>CC</tt> environment variable. If not set, <tt>cc</tt>
+will be used. The <tt>CFLAGS</tt> environment variable holds
+options to be passed to the C compiler. If you're using a Bourne-shell
+compatible shell you may pass something like this:
+<tscreen><verb>
+ CC=/opt/ccs/bin/cc CFLAGS=-O ./configure
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+When configured build the software by typing:
+<tscreen><verb>
+ make
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+As an option you may type <tt>make depend</tt> to create
+source file dependencies for the package. This is only needed,
+however, if you alter the source.
+
If successful, two executables have been created in the sub-directory
<tt/index/.
