The simplest way to compile this package is:

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code e.g. 'cd source'

  2. Type `make' to compile the package. You will need the the Boost library
     boost_program_options installed (for Debian and Ubuntu you can find it in
     libboost-program-options-dev package). After that you can clean typing 'make clean'.

  3. Copy the binary ('filtertool') to the place in your PATH
     (e.g. /usr/local/bin/) and the man page ('filtertool.1.gz') to some
     convinient location, e.g. /usr/share/man/man1/
     or type 'sudo make install' to copy to default locations.
