1 This is the directory where your smalltalk executable is created.

     2 The TOP makefile arrives here and does a 'make' here as

     3 a final step.

     4 The make here will leave an execuatable 'smalltalk' here.

     5 This can be executed here or copied to use/local/bin (or whereever).

     6 For proper execution, smalltalk needs access to the sourcefiles (for the browser)

     7 and some config files (resources, styles and .rc files).

     8 The makefile here creates subdirectories containing symbolic links to

     9 these files. The searchpath (see Smalltalk>>systemPath) for all file accesses 

    10 is set to access files either locally, or in usr/local/lib/smalltalk.

    11 Local operation:

    12 	files are installed as symbolic links in subdirectories.

    13 	The are accessed locally ('.' being in the path)

    14 Group operation (proper installation):

    15 	the files are installed as copies subdirs of in usr/local/lib/smalltalk

    16 	Users may override these by creating subdirectories locally

    17 	(for example: having a private 'smalltalk.rc')

    18 	Access is from local files or global files - whichever is found first

    21 Things you can do here:

    22 

    23     make                compile a smalltalk, create symbolic links to

    24 			sourcefiles, bitmaps and resources.

    25 

    26     make smalltalk      only compile; leave links alone

    27 

    28     make symLinks       only symbolic links are created

    29 

    30     make install        install smalltalk, libraries, include-files

    31 			and sources in DESTBINDIR and DESTLIBDIR.

    32 			Check with 'make -n install' before doing so.

    33 			DESTBINDIR/DESTLIBDIR are typically set to

    34 				/usr/local/bin

    35 				/usr/local/lib/smalltalk

    36 			respectively.
