Werner Lemberg0fbdf112009-07-15 07:50:06 +02001The git archive doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for
Werner Lembergb4119a92005-05-24 13:46:17 +00002UNIXish platforms. To generate them say
3
4 sh autogen.sh
5
6which in turn depends on the following packages:
Werner Lembergb0db0fc2005-03-05 17:05:35 +00007
Werner Lemberga984fda2008-06-09 21:02:13 +00008 automake (1.10.1)
9 libtool (2.2.4)
10 autoconf (2.62)

Werner Lemberg4ea0a7f2007-01-05 09:03:31 +000012The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions
13should work too, of course. Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper
14file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts.

Werner Lembergb2116512008-09-12 16:27:48 +000016The autogen.sh script now checks the version of above three packages
17whether they match the numbers above. Otherwise it will complain and
18suggest either upgrading or using an environment variable to point to
19a more recent version of the required tool(s).

Werner Lembergb2116512008-09-12 16:27:48 +000021Note that `aclocal' is provided by the `automake' package on Linux,
22and that `libtoolize' is called `glibtoolize' on Darwin (OS X).

Werner Lemberg1639c792006-05-06 16:44:58 +000025For static builds which don't use platform specific optimizations, no
Werner Lembergb0db0fc2005-03-05 17:05:35 +000026configure script is necessary at all; saying
27
28 make setup ansi
29 make
30
31should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp).

Werner Lemberg994a8592013-10-24 08:50:34 +020034Similarly, a build with `cmake' can be done directly from the git
35repository.
