2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Type `make install' (as root) to install programs, data files, and
documentation. If you're on a GNU/Linux system, this will install the
`cons.saver' utility, which allows the Midnight Commander to save and
restore the screen contents. If you're making a mc binary distribution
for other people and want to tar the whole binary later, you may want
to specify `make install DESTDIR=PATH', which will make PATH the root
for installation.
