# Installation
# ===================================================================


1/ Unpack alliance-3.2b-common.tar.gz and alliance-3.2c-sources.tar.gz
in the same dir.

2/ Run the configure script as explained in the alliance.README
If your OS is not one of the following : Linux_elf, SunOS, Solaris,
you will need to edit configure{.in} alc_env.sh and alc_env.csh
for that those script use a good $MACHINE name.

3/ Create the following directory architecture : 
   - the dir share & sources already exists
   - Linux_elf is a sample for $MACHINE=Linux_elf
   - YOUROSNAME is the tree you have to build

 alliance ---+- archi ------+- Linux_elf --+- bin 
             |              |              |- cells -> ../../share/cells/ 
             |              |              |- doc -> ../../share/doc/ 
             |              |              |- etc -> ../../share/etc/ 
             |              |              |- include 
             |              |              |- lib 
             |              |              |- man -> ../../share/man/ 
             |              |              `- tutorials -> ../../share/tutorials/ 
             |              `- YOUROSNAME--+- bin 
             |                             |- cells -> ../../share/cells/ 
             |                             |- doc -> ../../share/doc/ 
             |                             |- etc -> ../../share/etc/ 
             |                             |- include 
             |                             |- lib 
             |                             |- man -> ../../share/man/ 
             |                             `- tutorials -> ../../share/tutorials/ 
             |- share ------+- cells ------+- amg 
             |              |- etc 
             |              `- tutorials --+- ......
             |- sources ----+- ......
