If you read that, then you have already downloaded and unpacked the source archive. Process with these steps: 1. Make sure you have a working build environment: C compiler and perl 5 interpreter. 2. Edit the Makefile to set up the build options. This include compiler and linker options, and the target directories. Note that for BSD systems, you must add -lutil to LIBS. 3. Type "make". 4. Test the result with "TERMIMRC=termimrc ./termim" (or anything similar that works with your particular shell) in an UTF-8 terminal. 5. Type "make install", or copy yourself the binary, the man page and the default config file.
