To build the program you will need:
  - GNU make 3.77 or better (other make programs may or may not work !)
  - C compiler, C++ compiler, FORTRAN compiler and the respective language
    standard libraries.
    If your FORTRAN compiler does need a special flag to accept long lines and
    you run into trouble when compiling the FORTAN code of this package, please
    tell me about the compiler and its flag to accept these long lines.
    ( I am using egcs-1.1.1 for development, this one does work. )
  - the Qt environment (version >= 1.42) from Troll Tech (www.troll.no)
  - libkdecore and libkdeui from the KDE project (www.kde.org)
    I am using 1.1, older might work, newer ones are supposed to work.
  - a implementation of the BLAS. You should try to get an well optimized
    library for your machine, if you cannot, configure will automatically fall
    back to the included generic routines. (These are slower, though.)

To have the program work correctly:
  - A X11 "symbol"-font ( optional, otherwise some labels are shown incorrect ).

To do the installation change to the distribution base directory (named like
krot-x.y) and run './configure <options>' ( './configure --help' might be
usefull to see available options ). Look into INSTALL.generic for an explanation
of the configure process. (You can actually build krot outside its soure tree
as well, if you want.)
Then just type 'make', take some time, ... type 'make install'
... and you are done.

Please report bugs to <krot-devel@bacchus.pc1.uni-duesseldorf.de>, stating
'krot-bug' in the subject.
