At the moment this project uses a custom (but very basic) makefile to make and install. This will soon be changed to autotools, but at present this way works well enough. For a default install all that is needed is the following: 1. Decompress/archive the project file: tar -xzf getht-.tar.gz or tar -xyf getht-.tar.bz2 2. Change to hdte directory: cd getht- 3. Run make to compile the source: make 4. Use make again to install it (you'll need to have root privilages): make install For further build options, see the output of "make help"
