Tracker 4.42

## 4.1: Configuring tracker for your machine.

In order to compile tracker, you have to edit the ``Makefile`' and change several entries:

MACHINE
  your type of machine or precise port.
PREFIX
  where installed files will go.
CC
  C compiler to use.
COMPRESSION_FILE
  the default `compression known database' file.

then type

      make

``make install`' usually doesn't work, but tracker is quite easy to install by hand anyway. If everything didn't work ok, check the Generic problems section.

The only important part is to get MACHINE and CC right. Since Unix installations tend to vary, you may have to delve further into the Makefile and modify compiler switches.
