+In this document we use <database> as the name of the database system you

+Building on UNIX
+================
+
+The following build instructions are for the Linux/UNIX/Mac OS X
+operating systems as well as for Cygwin and MinGW on Windows.
+
+The standard autotools-based build system is used on these platforms.
+After unpacking the source code archive, change to the odb-tests
+package directory (referred to as odb-tests/ from now on) and run
+the configure script, for example:
+
+./configure --database <database>
+
+To see the available configuration options run configure with --help:
+
+./configure --help
+
+The required --database option specify the database system you would
+like to use.
+
+The configure script expects the directory where the ODB compiler
+binary is installed to be in the executable search path (the PATH
+environment variable). If that's not the case, you can use the ODB
+configure variable to specify the path to the ODB compiler, for
+example:
+
+./configure ODB=/opt/odb/bin/odb
+
+If the ODB compiler is not installed and you would like to run it
+from its build directory instead, you can use the --with-odb configure
+option to specify the build directory, for example:
+
+./configure --with-odb=/tmp/odb
+
+The configure script also expects the libodb , libodb-tracer, and
+libodb-<database> headers and libraries to be installed in a directory
+where the C++ compiler and linker will search for them by default
+(normally /usr and /usr/local). If these libraries are installed in
+other directories, you can use the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS configure
+variables to specify their locations, for example:
+
+./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/libodb/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/libodb/lib
+
+If these libraries are not installed and you would like to use their
+build directories instead, you can use the --with-libodb,
+--with-libodb-tracer, and --with-libodb-<database> configure options
+to specify their locations, for example:
+
+./configure --with-libodb=/tmp/libodb
+
+For each <database> value the configure script has a set of options in
+the form --with-<database>-* that allow you to specify various database
+system parameters, such as the login name, password, and database name,
+that should be used when running the tests. Run configure with
+--help to see the available options for your database.
+
+As another example, the following configure command uses the specified
+C++ compiler and compiles with optimization and without the debug
+information:
+
+./configure CXX=g++-4.5 CXXFLAGS=-O3
+
+Once configuration is complete, run make to build the tests:
+
+make
+
+Once the build completes successfully you can run the tests using the check
+target:
+
+make check
+
+
+Building on Windows
+===================
+
+The following build instructions are for Windows using Microsoft Visual
+Studio. If you would like to build odb-tests with GCC either using
+Cygwin or MinGW, refer to the "Building on UNIX" section above.
+
+The standard Visual Studio project and solution files are used on this
+platform. The provided project files expect the directory where the ODB
+compiler binary is installed to be in the executable search path (the
+PATH environment variable). They also expect the libodb, libodb-tracer,
+and libodb-<database> header and import library directories to be in
+the VC++ Directories Include and Library search lists. See the INSTALL
+files in the library packages for more information on how to setup the
+VC++ Directories.
+
+There are two ways to build the tests with Visual Studio. After unpacking
+the source code archive, you can manually open three solution files located
+in the tracer\, common\, and <database>\ directories in theodb-tests package
+directory (referred to as odb-tests\ from now on). In the tracer\ directory
+the solution file is named tracer-vc<N>.sln. In the common\ directory it
+is named common-<database>-vc<N>.sln. And in the <database>\ directory it
+is named <database>-vc<N>.sln. Here <N> is the version of Visual Studio
+that you are using. Once each solution is open, select the desired build
+configuration (Debug or Release) and platform (Win32 or x64) and build the
+solution.
+
+Alternatively, you can use the build.bat batch file located in the
+odb-tests\ directory to build all solutions, in all configurations and for
+all platforms automatically. The build.bat file has the following command
+line interface:
+
+build.bat <database> <N> [/Build|/Clean|/Rebuild]
+
+Where <N> is the version of Visual Studio that you are using. If no action
+is specified, the default is /Build.
+
+Once the build completes successfully, you can run all the tests using the
+test.bat batch file located in the odb-tests\ directory.
+
+Before you can run test.bat, you may need to adjust the database system
+parameters, such as the login name, password, and database name, that
+should be used when running the tests. To do this edit the
+<database>.options and <database>-driver.bat files located in the
+odb-tests\ directory. Once this is done you can run the tests by
+executing the following command from the command prompt:
+
+test.bat <database>
