install squid from source cords

Tue Nov 29 16:32:19 UTC 2005

To compile squid from source, you need to unpack the tar archive, go to
the directotro to which it has been unpacked and issue './confugure'
command with the desired options. The options will specify the SQUID
features which will be present in the complied SQUID program. This will
prepare source files and Makefiles for compilation with the desired
features. Then you should issue 'make' command to compile the source.
Then issue the command 'make install' to copy the compiled SQUID program
and other files (such as configuration and web pages with error message
s) to the locations where those files will be used.
The detailed description of the compilation process could be found at:
http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/latest/html/x220.html

Then you should specify the runtime configuration in the file
'squid.conf'. The guides with description of run-time configuration and
usage of SQUID could be found at:
http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/latest/html/book1.html
or on the SQUID website:
