Under UNIX, the easiest way to bootstrap is to run ``bvmake'' with
full path information, e.g.,
and later install VMake in a system global directory. Any of the
command line arguments may be used. The full path information is important
because the boot script tries to identify its own directory. This might be
problematic if the home directory is mounted automatically by a UNIX
automounter and so may differ for different computers. Using the path with
environment variable HOME solves this problem in any case for a
bootstrapping version and VROOT for an installed version.
Many shells allows to define an alias, e.g.,
or for an installed version
and later use just the shortcut.
