3 Building the software

Build the software by unpacking the distribution tar archive, and using the standard ./mk build to build it, then ./mk install to install it.

If you wish to use a non-default Starlink tree to build the software (that is, not the standard /star), then you can specify this by setting the environment variable STARLINK: for example setenv STARLINK /stardev. If you need to use more than one Starlink tree (perhaps because you have installed updated versions of some software outside the main tree; specifically, note that autoastrom requires AST version 1.8-1 or better), then use the STARLINKS variable, setting it to a colon-separated list of directories: for example setenv STARLINKS /path/to/my/star:/star (this facility is intended primarily for developers, and you really shouldn't need to use it in `normal' building of the software).
