When building from a source tarball, first unpack the source:
- tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.29-beta-src.tar.gz
- cd privoxy-3.0.29-beta
+ tar xzvf privoxy-3.0.29-stable-src.tar.gz
+ cd privoxy-3.0.29-stable
To build the development version, you can get the source code by doing:

5. DOCUMENTATION
-There should be documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory, but it may not be
-completed at this point. In particular, see the User Manual there, the FAQ, and
-those interested in Privoxy development, should look at developer-manual.
