Makefile
There is no build process as such, the Makefile is just used to copy the files from the download directory to their final location.
Since all the files need to be in the same location the Makefile copies them all to a directory specified by DEST. The Makefile then places a symlink in a directory specified by BIN. BIN should be a directory in your path.
Screen properties
Scythe uses Term::Key to get the width and height of the screen in characters. If you don't have, and can't get, Term::Key Scythe will still run but will use default width and height values.
You can also set the width and height from the command line.
