 Configuration

    $ ./configure

By default, features are auto-detected. To list all configuration options, run
./configure --help. Some common autoconf-style options like --prefix are
also available.

After running configure you can see from the generated config.mk file
what features have been configured in (see the CONFIG_ options).

The packages containing dependencies on common distributions are listed below. All dependencies other than pkg-config and ncurses, iconv, and elogind/systemd are for optional input/output plugins. It is assumed that libc headers, a C compiler, git, and GNU Make are available.

 Building

    $ make

Or on some BSD systems you need to explicitly use GNU make:

    $ gmake


 Installation

    $ make install

Or to install to a temporary directory:

    $ make install DESTDIR=~/tmp/cmus

This is useful when creating binary packages.

Remember to replace make with gmake if needed.
