| 7 | GIT-INFO |
| 8 | |
| 9 | This file is only present in git - never in release archives. It contains |
| 10 | information about other files and things that the git repository keeps in its |
| 11 | inner sanctum. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Compile and build instructions follow below. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | CHANGES.0 contains ancient changes |
| 16 | CHANGES contains the most recent changes |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Makefile.dist is included as the root Makefile in distribution archives |
| 19 | |
| 20 | perl/ is a subdirectory with various perl scripts |
| 21 | |
| 22 | To build in environments that support configure, after having extracted |
| 23 | everything from git, do this: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ./buildconf |
| 26 | ./configure |
| 27 | make |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Daniel uses a ./configure line similar to this for easier development: |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode |
| 32 | |
| 33 | In environments that don't support configure (i.e. Microsoft), do this: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | buildconf.bat |
| 36 | |
| 37 | |
| 38 | REQUIREMENTS |
| 39 | |
| 40 | For buildconf (not buildconf.bat) to work, you need the following software |
| 41 | installed: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | o autoconf 2.57 (or later) |
| 44 | o automake 1.7 (or later) |
| 45 | o libtool 1.4.2 (or later) |
| 46 | o GNU m4 (required by autoconf) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | o nroff + perl |
| 49 | |
| 50 | If you don't have nroff and perl and you for some reason don't want to |
| 51 | install them, you can rename the source file src/tool_hugehelp.c.cvs to |
| 52 | src/tool_hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this file. This will |
| 53 | give you a stubbed version of the file that doesn't contain actual content. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | MAC OS X |
| 56 | |
| 57 | With Mac OS X 10.2 and the associated Developer Tools, the installed versions |
| 58 | of the build tools are adequate. For Mac OS X 10.1 users, Guido Neitzer |
| 59 | wrote the following step-by-step guide: |
| 60 | |
| 61 | 1. Install fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) |
| 62 | 2. Update fink to the newest version (with the installed fink) |
| 63 | 3. Install the latest version of autoconf, automake and m4 with fink |
| 64 | 4. Install version 1.4.1 of libtool - you find it in the "unstable" section |
| 65 | (read the manual to see how to get unstable versions) |
| 66 | 5. Get cURL from git |
| 67 | 6. Build cURL with "./buildconf", "./configure", "make", "sudo make install" |
