System Requirements
===================

Artist is designed for use with Emacs 19.28, 19.31 or higher.
It works with Emacs versions 19.29 and 19.30, except for when it comes
to drawing with the shift-key down. Artist has also been tested with
Emacs 20.2 (which was built with Erik Naggum's Multibyte Survival Kit,
which is available from http://sourcery.naggum.no/).

Basic Installation
==================

The simplest way to build and install Artist is:

  1. `cd' to the Artist source directory and type `./configure' to
     configure Artist for your system.

  2. Type `make' to build the byte-compiled Lisp file.

  3. Type `make install' to install the Artist Lisp file.

  4. Add the line

	(autoload 'artist-mode "artist" "Enter artist-mode" t)

     to your default.el or to your .emacs (if you are not installing
     in the site-lisp directory).

Load Path
=========

If you have any load-path problems, edit the file `load-path.hack' to
add the appropriate directory to the load-path during byte
compilation.

Installation Names
==================

By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp'.  You can specify an installation
prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the option
`--prefix=PATH'.

If your installed copy of Emacs 19 is named something other than
`emacs', you will need to tell `make' where to find it so
that it can correctly byte-compile the Artist source.

For example, to force the use of My-Emacs you might do:

	./configure
	make EMACS=myemacs
	make install

Also, the `--prefix=PATH' option to `configure' may not be general
enough to set the paths you want.  If not, you can pass variables to
the `make' command to control the installation.

For example, to put the Lisp files in `$HOME/elisp', you would type:

	./configure
	make
	make lispdir=$HOME/elisp install
