56235576 8user with various views, such as summarized revision log and showing the commit\r
fdcf8ca7 9with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.</p>\r

60<p>Edit the Makefile if you need to configure specific compiler or linker flags.\r
61On FreeBSD for example the c library does not support the iconv interface and\r
62to compile tig you need to append <tt>-L/usr/local/lib -liconv</tt> to <tt>LDLIBS</tt> and\r
63<tt>-I/usr/local/include</tt> to the <tt>CFLAGS</tt> variable.</p>\r
