H. Peter Anvin 2ef2f06125 Enable the use of a config.h file and autoheader. At this point we don't
actually *use* the resulting configuration file, but it keeps autoconf
from creating an insanely long compiler command line, which can cause
problems all by itself.  Eventually we can do:

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include "config.h"
#endif

... to get the same information.

Installing nasm from source
===========================
Installing nasm is pretty straightforward on UN*X systems with Perl
and GNU tools installed.
If you checked out source from CVS you will need to run autoconf to
generate configure, otherwise you don't have to.
$ autoheader
$ autoconf
Then run configure to detect your platform settings and generate makefiles.
$ ./configure
You can get information about available configuration options by
running `./configure --help`.
If configure fails, please send bug report with detailed platform
information to <nasm-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net> and we will try to
help you asap!
If everything went okay, type
$ make
to build nasm, ndisasm and rdoff tools, or
$ make everything
to build the former plus the docs.
You can decrease the size of produces executables by stripping off
unnecessary information, to achieve this run
$ make strip
If you install to a system-wide location you might need to become
root:
$ su <enter root password>
then
$ make install
optionally followed by
$ make install_rdf
Or you can
$ make install_everything
to install everything =)
Thats it, enjoy!
PS. Installation instructions for other platforms are underway.
