5groff is written in C++, so you will need a C++ compiler. The C++
6source files use a suffix of `.cc', so your C++ compiler must be able
7to handle this. If you don't already have a C++ compiler, I suggest
8gcc 2.7.1 or later (gcc version 2 includes GNU C++ as well as GNU C).
9From gcc 2.5, it is no longer necessary to install libg++: the C++
10header files needed by groff are created by the gcc installation
11process. To override configure's choice of C++ compiler, you can set
12the CXX environment variable.
13
14If you have a library that provides a faster malloc than your system's
15usual malloc, it is good idea to include it in LIBS. For example,
16using the malloc that comes with GNU Emacs version 18 can give a
17worthwhile (and sometimes spectacular) performance improvement.

22groff to run without being installed. The current directory must be
