This release of Version 5.9 of Icon is tailored to the 4.3bsd distribution of user-contributed software. To build the system, type: make all To install the various components for general use, type: make install This will place the user-level programs icont and icon-pi in /usr/new; make a library directory /usr/new/lib/icon and copy in several files which are used by icont; and place man pages for icont and icon-pi in /usr/man/mann. "make all" is a subset of "make install". One needs to be super-user to do the installations. The system is configured to run with binaries in /usr/new and the executable library in /usr/new/lib/icon. To change this, it is necessary modify the Setup entry in the Makefile. Consult tr84-13 in the docs subdirectory prior to installation if this is required. The makefile entry setup-pwd configures Icon to run with the library programs (which normally reside in /usr/new/lib/icon) in ./bin. Note that various Icon documents refer to system as being rooted at "v5g" but the normal v5g directory is not in this distribution. Whenever documents talk about v5g/... this refers to /usr/src/new/icon/... in this distribution. "make clean" removes object files and other files that are built by the compilation of the system. Executables in ./bin are not removed. Troff sources for documents related to Version 5.9 of Icon are contained in the "docs" directory. See "READ.ME" there. In addition to Icon proper, there is a library of Icon programs with manual pages and a "personalized interpreter" system for persons who want private versions of Icon with their own modifications. See docs/tr84-13 for more information and pointers to other documents.
