$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install (as root)

Configure has the following options:

--enable-lfs
  enable experimental large file support. please test this if you can.
  THIS IS NOW THE DEFAULT! You can disable it it with --disable-lfs

--enable-cygfix
  enable a fix when building on cygwin where it wasn't redrawing properly somehow on a computer I was using at the time,
  an I've forgotten exactly what it was. But it works on my current cygwin without the fix, so it's an option.

--enable-debug
  enable -g for gcc


Good luck.
