src directory Makefile commands

The following Makefile commands may be issed while the src directory is the current directory:

• make [blank | all | default]
  Completely compiles and links VMD. Copies of the proper files must be checked out from the RCS directory, and the source code dependencies must be up to date (see make co and make depend).
• make module.o
  Compile a single source code file (module, with proper filetype extension).
• make install
  This will install the VMD executables, documentation files, and data files into a particular VMD library directory determined by setting configuration variables in the configure script (see section 3.2). As well, utility programs and scripts necessary to run VMD will be copied into a directory also specified in the configure script. This command should be run after the Makefile has been generated, and VMD has been successfully compiled with the requested options.
• make distrib
  This creates a tarred and compressed version of the VMD working directory structure, which is suitable for distribution to other users via FTP. The resulting .tar.Z file is placed in the directory distrib in the VMD working directory. The distribution version contains all files needed to compile and run VMD, as well as the documentation files. This command is not needed by general users, it is used by VMD developers to generate the files which are made available via anonymous FTP.
