This makefile/distfile is still an alien concept to me. I would like to install elm on my system. I understand that I must compile it myself, and that a makefile is some kind of compilation control. I've gathered this from the docs on make and man pages. I have figured out how to extract binarys, and installed X using the cat|tar combo. Does anyone know of a website or other documentation that really spells out the process of compiling something like elm on a FreeBSD system? Ken Marsh.
