INSTALLATION
============

+To install from an unpacked source .tar.bz2 distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make
More detailed installation instructions can be found in the documentation,
in the doc/ directory.
-The time the "make" step takes depends on optimization levels. To give you
-a rough idea of what you have to expect the following table may be helpful.
-It was measured on an Athlon X2/3GHz with 4Gb of RAM.

-step | GCC optimization | comment
- | -O1 | -O2 |
---------------+---------+---------+----------------------------------------
-make | ~1m | ~2m | shared library only (--disable-static),
- | | | parallel compilation (MAKEFLAGS=-j2)
-make check | ~6m | ~6m | largely due to compilation
+The time to build the library depends to a large degree on optimization levels.
+Using the default high optimization, 'make' takes a few minutes on a fast
+machine and 'make check' takes some more minutes. You can speed this up with a
+parallel build with 'make -j2' or higher, depending on the number of available
+CPU cores.
