    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>patch -Np1 -i ../pine-&pine-version;-utf8-1.patch</command>:
    This patch enables Pine UTF-8 and charset conversion.</para> 

    <para><command>sed -i "s@/usr/ ... /lib/pine *)</command>: This
    <command>sed</command> will make <application>Pine</application> use <filename
    class="directory">/etc</filename> for configuration files. It also alters
    the documentation to reflect that.</para>

    <para>The build procedure for <application>Pine</application> is somewhat
    unusual, in that options usually passed as <command>./configure</command>
    options or housed in $<envar>CFLAGS</envar> must all be passed on the command
    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
    <option>-lcrypt</option> 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 class="directory">/var/mail</filename>.</para>

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