1. Start with the bootstrap compiler package : 

	gnutar xvfz objc-2.3.1-bootstrap.tar.gz

	cd objc-2.3.1-bootstrap

	./configure --help
	./configure --prefix=$HOME

	make
	make install

It is important to use the --prefix option if you want to install the compiler in a directory like $HOME/bin.  The default (if no --prefix is specified) is to install into /usr/local/bin,/usr/local/include,/usr/local/man etc.  

The configure script has to find a C compiler for all this to work.
You may have to set the CC variable to prevent 'gcc' from being used :

	e.g. on HP-UX,

		CC='cc -Aa'
		export CC
		./configure --prefix=$HOME 

	or on IRIX,

		CC='cc -ansi -common'
		export CC
		./configure --prefix=$HOME

	or on Digital Unix,

		CC='cc -std'
		export CC
		./configure --prefix=$HOME

2. Make sure that the bootstrap compiler (objc) is in the PATH :

	PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin";export PATH
   or
	setenv PATH "$PATH:$HOME/bin"

3. After step 2 (set the PATH !), go to the actual compiler sources :

	gnutar xvfz objc-2.3.1.tar.gz

	cd objc-2.3.1

	./configure --help
	./configure --prefix=$HOME

	make
	make install

4.  [Optional] Repeat step 3 to test the compiler (do not repeat step 1).
