Well, in a far far away past, there was something like RTFM. Let me point to the trees in the forest today.

(And forgive me for posting links, the files should be included in the distribution archives too.)

Instruction to build htick

Please read the files (especially README.Makefiles) in the husky-common (huskybse) package FIRST!

I think this first step reminder is placed into any module.

I. Overview
===========

The Husky Fidonet software package is split into different "modules". A
module is a library or a program. In order to compile any Husky program, you
will at least have to download the following modules:

  huskybse      Husky Base, contains *instructions*, a template compilation
                configuration file, and sample configs.
  huskylib      Common declarations and functions for Husky programs
  smapi         The Squish Message API library.
  fidoconf      The Fidoconfig library.

In addition, you need the programs that you want to use, like "hpt" (the
tosser), "htick" (the ticker), "msged" (the mail editor), and others.

The concept is well described from my point of view.

Kai
