Instead, it contains templates for -these files as well as its own, custom build system. This build system is -used for development as well as to automatically generate the autotools and -Visual Studio files. - -This file describes how to use this build system to build the package as well -as to create a release-ready source distribution which contains the autotools -build system and Visual Studio project files. - - -Prerequisites -============= - -Besides the prerequisites listed in the INSTALL file, you will need the -following additional packages: - - - GNU bash >= 2.0.0 http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ - - GNU make >= 3.81 http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ - - build >= latest http://www.codesynthesis.com/projects/build/ - -If you are planning to create the source code distributions, then you will -also need the following packages: - - - GNU m4 >= 1.4.0 http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/ - - GNU sed >= 4.0.0 http://www.gnu.org/software/sed/ - - tofrodos >= 1.7.0 http://www.thefreecountry.com/tofrodos/ - -As we as the GNU autotools: - - - GNU libtool >= 2.2.6b http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ - - GNU autoconf >= 2.67 http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ - - GNU automake >= 1.11.1 http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ - -Any reasonably up to date GNU/Linux installation would normally have all of -the above packages already present, except for build and maybe tofrodos. - - -Configuring and Building -======================== - -To build the source code simply run make in the root directory of the package. -The first time you run make, the build process will also configure the -package by asking you several questions. On the subsequent runs, make will -only rebuild what has changed. - -To run the automated test suite (if any), run 'make test'. To clean the object -files, executables, etc., run 'make clean'. To de-configure the package (that -is, to remove configuration files in addition to objects, executables, etc.), -run 'make disfigure'. - - -Creating Distribution -===================== - -To create the source code distribution, use the dist make target as well as -the dist_prefix variable to specify the directory where the distribution files -should be placed. For example: - -make dist dist_prefix=/tmp/package-1.1.0 - -Once the distribution files are ready, change to the distribution directory -and run the bootstrap script to bootstrap the autotools build system, for -example: - -cd /tmp/package-1.1.0 -./bootsrap - -To create the source code archives, use the autotools build system. First -configuring the package (see the INSTALL file for more information on this -step) and then use the dist target to make the archives, for example: - -./configure -make dist |
