Installation
Step 1: Untar the source package
For a tar.gz package use: tar -xzvf bless-a.b.c.tar.gz
Step 2: Configure the build
Enter the directory created in the previous step (bless-a.b.c) and type ./configure'. The script will check if your system has all the required libraries. Use the --prefix=PREFIX option to set the installation directory prefix. By default the prefix is '/usr/local'.
You can also use the --enable-debug option to build bless with debug information.
Step 3: Build the program
Type 'make'. This will create bless exe and the necessary libraries in the bin/ directory and the bless launcher script in the bless-a.b.c directory. You can also type 'make check' to run some tests on various bless components.
Step 4: Install the program (optional)
Become root and type 'make install'.
