Always check files called README, INSTALL, or something
equally prominent for program-specific instructions. In general, however,
the presence of an Imakefile indicates that you should probably run
xmkmf -a
make all
and the presence of a Makefile.in indicates that you should try
./configure --prefix=/usr
make all
If there is just a Makefile, try executing ``make all'',
``make'', and ``make progname'' in that order. Otherwise,
you'll have to invoke gcc manually: if the source is in foo.c, try
gcc -c foo.c -o foo.o
gcc foo.o -o foo
to produce an executable called foo.
