Installing utfcheck
To install the utfcheck package on a system with a Unix-style command line interface (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Cygwin, etc.), type these commands in a terminal window:
./configure
make
make check
make install
make clean
The "make check" command will run tests
using sample text files that are in the "test"
directory.
The "make install" command might need to be run as
"sudo make install" on your system. By default,
the utfcheck program will be installed in
"/usr/local/bin"
and the man (manual) page will be installed in
"/usr/local/share/man/man1".
