1 New Themyscira Wireless software components, as well as sw components that sit
2 between FreeCalypso and ThemWi realms like the present package, use configure
3 scripts - you need to run ./configure before running 'make'. However, our
4 configure script is hand-coded, not Autotools/autohell, hence there is no
5 autoreconf nonsense involved.
6
7 Standard --prefix, --exec-prefix and --bindir options are supported for
8 changing the installation directory for the compiled binaries; the default
9 prefix is /usr/local, following general FOSS community conventions.

12 ==========================
13
14 If you are a FreeCalypso user, if you are installing the present package for
15 the purpose of using it together with FC host tools and/or FC SIM tools, and
16 you like the approach of having all FC components neatly compartmented under
17 /opt/freecalypso (with /opt/freecalypso/bin added to your PATH), you can put
18 these SMS utitilies in the same place by running configure like this:
19
20 ./configure --prefix=/opt/freecalypso
21
22 OTOH, if you are someone who does not like and has never liked the scheme of
23 FC binaries residing in /opt/freecalypso/bin, you can install wherever you like.
