Perhaps reading the INSTALL file at the top of > the working tree would worth the time? Thanks Junio. I did follow it eventually. I got stuck here since the instructions to install some libraries was at the towards the middle and end of the INSTALL file while the instruction to run the make command was at the top of the file, and it seemed a bit easy as the file had just said "it should work normally"(without pointing out the libraries needed) was what kinda got me lost, but I eventually found my solutions as I read through the doc. But yes,I will now try to read and search entire docs as all the good stuff might be at the bottom. :-) >
