To compile and install screen:
The screen package comes with a GNU Autoconf configuration
script. Before you compile the package run
sh ./configure
This will create a `config.h' and `Makefile' for your machine.
If configure fails for some reason, then look at the examples and
comments found in the `Makefile.in' and `config.h.in' templates.
Rename `config.status' to `config.status.machine' when
you want to keep configuration data for multiple architectures. Running
sh ./config.status.machine recreates your configuration
significantly faster than rerunning configure.
Read through the "User Configuration" section of `config.h', and verify
that it suits your needs.
A comment near the top of this section explains why it's best to
install screen setuid to root.
Check for the place for the global `screenrc'-file and for the socket
directory.
Check the compiler used in `Makefile', the prefix path where to install
screen. Then run
make
If make fails to produce one of the files `term.h', `comm.h'
or `tty.c', then use filename.x.dist instead.
For additional information about installation of screen refer to the
file `INSTALLATION', coming with this package.
