Configuring the sources

It uses autoconf, so it is simple:

 tar zxf karoo-2008-11-25.tgz
 cd karoo
 ./cleanup.sh

Compiling

Just use make e.g.

 cd karoo
 make

You simply need to link the libraries in to your application. Look for the relevant library, it is always named according to the directory it was compiled from. E.g. the Queue library is compiled from sources in the queue directory, and it is named libqueue.a

Installing the libraries "properly"

You can run

 make install

which by default installs things in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin

... but if you want to use another directory, e.g. /home/bmodra/lib:

 cd karoo
 ./configure --prefix=/home/bmodra
 make install

... which will create two directories, in this case:

/home/bmodra/lib
/home/bmodra/bin

It will put the libraries into the lib directory, and the test executables into the bin directory.
