I cloned the SELinux repository and I don't see any README, INSTALL,

the first step in an installation process, right? How should I build
SELinux?
You can just check the Makefile for very simple things such as editing
the CFLAGS (compiler options) or editing the PREFIX and/or DESTDIR (I
can't remember exactly now) and then just type:
$ make
to build
$ make install
to install it.
Otherwise, you could pass the same variables to make as in:
make CFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=corei7 -mtune=corei7"
make DESTDIR=/ PREFIX=/usr install
to build for example with debugging on an Intel Corei7 and install under
/usr on root filesystem.
Thanks,
David
configure won't be strictly needed (as there are very few simple build
options). And it's not packaged strictly according to GNU guidelines, so
it might not carry INSTALL, README, NEWS and friends.
But in a sense you're right, one day the whole thing shall evolve
towards being a little bit more conformant to GNU guidelines (and
provide for example autoconf tools even if they might not appear as
strictly needed but at least for consistency with the underlying world).
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Guido
