Change INSTALL to point to wiki page "Compile" #69

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I just checked out the code from svn again to see how far you guys have
come. I assumed that the presence of the INSTALL file meant that the
instructions in would actually work but in fact they are just misleading to
users. I know INSTALL is a generic autotools thing but in this case it's
actually going harm by leading people to believe that what they need to do
is the usual "autogen.sh/configure" followed by "make && sudo make install".

My suggestion is that you delete all the instructions inside INSTALL and
instead you put a simple URL there pointing to the already existing (and
great) instructions in the wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/vtg/wiki/Compile

Thanks.

Actually maybe you want keep two separate install instructions (one for 
tarballs and
one for VCS). However, in both cases users should be informed about the special
prefixes required. I just tried it with "--prefix=/usr" at first because I 
hadn't
found the wiki page.
