[ncl-install] How to edit config without using Configure

[David Brown]

The Configure script writes a file in the config directory called Site.local.
You can define include and lib search paths inside this file. For
example, my Site.local file has the following:

#define LibSearch -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib
#define IncSearch -I/usr/local/include/cairo
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include

Note that this file is read twice. Once before and once after the
Makefile generating tools process the system-specific configuration
file, probably the file called LINUX in your case. You can override
statements in the system-specific file by putting directives in the
"SecondSite" section.

Hope this helps.
