# Read README and if upgrading, NEWS and/or ChangeLog

# As of version 3.2.0, configure will use GnuTLS by default.  It will only
# use OpenSSL if you tell it to via the --with-openssl flag, even if GnuTLS
# is not installed.  If it was installed in the standard source location,
# pass this to configure: --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl  If GnuTLS is
# installed somewhere where configure can't find it, specify it's prefix
# with --with-libgnutls-prefix=/the/prefix/its/installed/under

# Configure the build for 64-bit
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/man --disable-nls

# Configure the build for anything else
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/man --disable-nls

# Build it
make

# Become root to install it
su

# Remove the Slackware package, if there is one

# If you ever need to uninstall lftp, this should do it.
#
# I tried running 'make uninstall' in the source directory with version 3.2.1,
# but that got stuck in a loop and ate up every available file handle bringing
# the load average up to a few hundred, so I ctrl-C'd it :-)  Needless to say,
# either run 'make -n uninstall' first to see what would happen, or just don't
# do it at all.
