HOW TO BUILD?

  An ANSI C compiler is required for build.

  To build, it should be easy.  There are 3 types.  You may want to set some
    parameters like SCOREPATH, SCOREFILE, LOGPATH, and LOGFILE.

    configure:
      Use "configure -help" to see what options you can set using configure
      or parameters in Makefile.in .

      configure ; make

    imake:
      Sometimes this is not setup correctly by the distributor ... i.e. not
      my fault.  You may want to set parameters in Imakefile .
      If you have Xpm you may want to do this quick edit in the Imakefile:
        Uncomment line "#define XpmLibrary".
      If you have Motif you may want to do this quick edit in the Imakefile:
        Uncomment line "#define XmLibrary".

      xmkmf ; make

    make.com (VMS users only):
      You may want to set parameters in make.com .

      @make

    win/Makefile (Mingw users only):
      You may want to set parameters in Makefile (like
      COPT=-02 -mno-cygwin).

      cd win
      make

      Then run "wpyraminx".  Your on your own on installing the
      wpyraminx.ini file and pyraminx.scores file.

X users only:
  Then just run "xpyraminx".  If you do a "make install" "SCOREPATH" and
  "LOGPATH" must be set correctly.

  You should copy Pyraminx.ad to $(HOME)/Pyraminx or use "make install" to
  copy it to something like /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Pyraminx, especially
  if the background is similar to one of the faces.  Edit this file for
  your preferences.

  There are a few install options using configure.
  make install:
    Normal installation usually in /usr/local.  The problem is that the
    file pyraminx.scores should be writable by the application but not
    users.  It will try to fallback to reading and writing in the current
    directory.  (pyraminx.log is a temporary log file to keep track of
    moves, here the current directory is the default with /usr/tmp as the
    fallback).
  make install-games:
    This will install the puzzle like the BSD games.  This configuration
    is for the most part hard coded and will ignore most prefix settings.
    The difference here is that it runs setgid.  This then has some
    "medium" security risks.

  The following installation options are used when the above ones are working.
  make install-png:
    This is used to install the "*.pyraminx.png" images for use with menus
    in Gnome and KDE.
  make install-xpm:
    This is used to install the "pyraminx.?.xpm" images for use with menus
    in CDE using system files (name changes from ".xpm" to ".pm" when
    installing).  The xpm images are the same the png images except the small
    image is 24x24 instead of 22x22.
  make install-xpm-home:
    This is used to install the images for use with menus in CDE using
    from your home directory.  I have this set up using the desktop and
    menus.  There are probably many ways but I have it set up using
    $HOME/.dt/types/dtfile.dt, $HOME/.dt/types/dtwm.fp, and $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc
    These files can be copied and changed from /usr/dt.
  Try resizing the puzzle. Notice the puzzle resizes to take advantage of
  the "room" available.

  The auto-solver here only works for period 3 2x2x2 and 3x3x3.
  One of the problems in auto-solvers the generally do not work for
  different number of cuts.  If you know of one let me know.

  Personally, I have solved 1-3 in  "Period 2" mode, 1-4 in the
  "Period 3" mode, 1-2 in the "Both" mode, and "Sticky" I only
  solved it in "Period 3".

  Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.

  If you want further information on puzzles, I'll be glad :-) to send
  it to you.
