GETTING STARTED ON BUILDING UNIX PINE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Note: source code for PC-Pine is not currently available.)
After downloading one of the compressed "tar" files (pine.tar.gz, _or_
pine.tar.bz2, _or_ pine.tar.Z) here are the steps to build Unix
Pine (and the other related programs):
Step 1: Uncompress the downloaded file:
uncompress pine.tar.Z
or
gunzip pine.tar.gz
or
bunzip2 pine.tar.bz2
Step 2: Extract files from the "tar" archive:
tar xf pine.tar
Step 3: Change directory to the extracted pineX.XX directory, e.g.
cd pine4.64
Step 4: Read the distribution's README file for detailed instructions:
