Installation

Make rules are not installed on a system, but included in a makefile.
The process is well documented in the GNU make documentation. You find
an example in the docs/Frog and docs/Rules directories. Here is a
short overview:

1) Ensure you have GNU make (3.74 or higher) installed on your
	system. If not:
	
	o download our copy from our WWW site (http://sepwww.stanford.edu) 

	o download a copy from the /pub/GNU/ directory of 
		gatekeeper.dec.com or any other GNU mirror site.

2) Place the common rules (the Doc* and Prg* files) in a directory,
	e.g. /usr/local/share/make

3) Start editing a Makefile by including the common rule files:

		include /usr/local/share/make/Doc.defs.top

   	Alternatively you can use a environment variable to locate 
	the directory /usr/local/share/make:

		setenv SEPINC /usr/local/share/make

	The corresponding Makefile then reads:

		include ${SEPINC}/Doc.defs.top
	
4) Write your application specific Makefile part.

5) Ensure that you use GNU's make executable when invoking any target.
	Some users set an alias, other users name the GNU make executable 
	``gmake''.
