<para><command>patch -Np1 -i ../pine-&pine-version;-fhs.patch</command>: This

line to the <command>./build</command> script.</para>

<para><command>./build slx</command>: <application>Pine</application> offers 
quite a few target platforms, slx specifies Linux using
-lcrypt to get the crypt function.  See the
<filename>doc/pine-ports</filename> file for more information and
other authentication options.</para>

<para><command>DEBUG=-O</command>: This flag compiles an optimized
version of <command>pine</command> and <command>pico</command> that
produces no debug files.</para>

<para><command>MAILSPOOL=/var/mail</command>: Location of mail spool
files, <filename>/var/mail.</filename></para>

<para><command>SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl/certs</command>: Location
of OpenSSL files.</para>
