How to build and install Kaffe for BeOS
---------------------------------------

1 - you need Kaffe 1.0.5, available from ftp://ftp.transvirtual.com/pub/kaffe/
    or another mirror (check www.kaffe.org for details). 

2 - expand the archive into /boot/home.

3 - after downloading the BeKaffe sources,
    expand the archive over /boot/home/kaffe-1.0.5.  
    
4 - you now need to configure for BeOS and AWT before building.
    From a Terminal type:
      cd /boot/home/kaffe-1.0.5
      ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/boot/home/bekaffe

5 - build the "beast" with:
      make
      make install

6 - now set the path to the installed executable:
      export PATH=/boot/home/bekaffe/bin:$PATH
    You can add this to your .profile configuration file to save some typing.
  
7 - to validate your installation, type:
     make check 
  
8 - to run one of those sample applet distributed with a binary release,
    let's say BigTime, type:
      appletviewer BigTime.html
    from the 'samples/BigTime' directory.
