Starting with version 1.6.9 the 'make' tries to determine the 
optimum compile method. Most of the time you can simply untar 
and do a 'make' and you're good to go on AMD and Intel platforms. 
However on other platforms such as ARM processors you may have to 
manually tweak the Makefile to optimize the compile. Then doing 
'make install' will put the binary in /usr/local/bin/ and the 
manpage in /usr/local/share/man/man1/ (Thank you Dustin Kirkland 
for initial creation of the manpage.)

If you get any errors from the 'make' please provide the output
of the 'make' including the command line so that the process can
be improved.

You can do a 'make check' to determine how the compile will be
done. It will report 64bit verses 32bit and the 'arch' and 'tune'
flags used for the processor. If it reports 'NoNative' the 'arch'
and 'tune' flags will have to be manually set if you chose to do
so for optimization.

In that case you may have to uncomment and set/adjust the "ARCH =" 
and "TUNE =" variables at he beginning of the Makefile and set 
them to the proper values for your processor. Manually setting
these variable will override any automatic determination of them.
You can then do a 'make check' to see if the values you set will
be used. If you set the values to 'native' and you still see 
NoNative that can be due to gcc not supporting 'native' due to
its version or the architecture.

You can access the documentation via 'aurora -h' or the manpage,
or for more in depth documentation, read the code.
