This archive contains pre-configured libcutl source code with all its 
dependencies. On UNIX-like operating systems it allows you to built 
libcutl in non-interactive mode (that is, without answering any 
questions).

Send questions, bug reports, or any other feedback to 
libcutl-users@codesynthesis.com.


UNIX
----

Building on UNIX-like operating systems requires GNU make 3.81 or later.
Most recent GNU/Linux distributions should already have this version
installed. To check the GNU make version run make (or gmake) with the
--version option.

The build system supports the following standard variables:

CXX        (defaults to g++ if not set)
CPPFLAGS
CXXFLAGS
LDFLAGS
LIBS
AR         (defaults to ar if not set)
RANLIB     (defaults to ranlib if not set)

For example:

$ make CXX=g++-4.2 CXXFLAGS=-O3

After the build, libcutl.a can be found in the libcutl/cutl/ directory.

If you would like to see the full compiler/linker/etc., command lines,
you can add verbose=1 to the command line, for example:

$ make verbose=1

To build and run automated test suites for libcutl as well as all the
dependencies, run:

$ make test

To clean the object files, libraries, executable, etc., run:

$ make clean

To install the libcutl library, header files, and documentation use the
install target, for example:

$ make install_prefix=/usr install

You can fine-tune the installation locations with the following make
variables:

install_prefix       default is /usr/local
install_data_prefix  default is install_prefix
install_exec_prefix  default is install_prefix

install_bin_dir      default is install_exec_prefix/bin
install_sbin_dir     default is install_exec_prefix/sbin
install_lib_dir      default is install_exec_prefix/lib

install_data_dir     default is install_data_prefix/share
install_inc_dir      default is install_data_prefix/include

install_doc_dir      default is install_data_dir/doc
install_man_dir      default is install_data_dir/man
install_info_dir     default is install_data_dir/info

You can also run make from various sub-directories in this package. For
example, to build and run automated tests only for libcutl, you can do
the following:

$ cd libcutl/tests
$ make test

Windows
-------

Project and solution files are provided for Visual C++ 8.0 (2005) and 9.0 
(2008). To build the libcutl library, open and build the corresponding
solution file in the libcutl\cutl directory. After the build is complete, 
the library can be found in the libcutl\cutl\ directory.
