Quick Start Procedure

Unpack the distribution. Type `./configure' Type `make' Type `make install' as a user with the appropriate privileges (e.g., `bin' or perhaps even `root'). Type `cd /usr/include; mkid' to build an ID database covering all of the system header files. Type `lid FILE', then `gid strtok', then `aid stdout'.

You have just built, installed and used the most common commands of the GNU ID utilities. If you ever need help remembering which system header files contain a particular declaration, or reference a particular symbol, you'll want to keep the ID file you built in `/usr/include' for later use. If your working directory is elsewhere at the time, simply provide the `-f /usr/include' option to `lid' (see section Options for Programs that Read ID Databases).
