The basic install is very simple: make, make install. You can change the default install prefix (/usr/local) by specifying it in the make install command, eg: make install PREFIX=/usr To build the command line tool, either uncomment the BUILD_CLI=1 line in the Makefile, or specify BUILD_CLI=1 on the make command line. ie, make BUILD_CLI=1 make install BUILD_CLI=1 No uninstall is supported, but isn't exactly difficult to delete all the files by hand . . . Files installed (paths relative to PREFIX): bin/wmacpi bin/acpi man/man1/wmacpi.1 man/man1/acpi.1 Simon Fowler , 2003-11-23
