----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/ REQUIREMENTS
Velvet should function on any standard 64bit Linux environment with
gcc. A good amount of physical memory (12GB to start with, more is no luxury)
is recommended.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B/ COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS
Normally, with a GNU environment, just type:
> make
For colorspace Velvet replace that command with
> make color
Otherwise compile each *.c file separately, then execute the default
instructions at the top of Makefile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C/ WHERE IS THE MANUAL?
If you cannot find the PDF manual in the source directory (probably because
you downloaded Velvet through git), you can simply compile it:
> make doc
