 # Assumptions

-In the following guide, we will assume that FARSA source files are in the *SOURCESDIR* directory, that the building process will make use of makefiles and will happen in the *BUILDDIR* directory and that FARSA will be installed in the *INSTALDIR* directory. You can put those directories wherever you want, but we suggest you to follow these guidelines:
+In the following guide, we will assume that FARSA source files are in the *SOURCES\_DIR* directory, that the building process will make use of makefiles and will happen in the *BUILD\_DIR* directory and that FARSA will be installed in the *INSTALL\_DIR* directory. You can put those directories wherever you want, but we suggest you to follow these guidelines:

-* keep the *SOURCESDIR* and *BUILDDIR* separated. This will make it easy to start compilation from scratch in case something goes wrong by simply deleting the content of *BUILDDIR*;
-* if you set *INSTALLDIR* to /usr/local (or even /usr) you will not need to set any environment variable when executing FARSA or developing plugins. If, however, you don't want to use system paths (or you simply can't), you can use any other location. Make sure you set all the environment variables listed below, though.
