michael@0: The git  archive doesn't  contain pre-built configuration  scripts for
michael@0: UNIXish platforms.  To generate them say
michael@0: 
michael@0:   sh autogen.sh
michael@0: 
michael@0: which in turn depends on the following packages:
michael@0: 
michael@0:   automake (1.10.1)
michael@0:   libtool (2.2.4)
michael@0:   autoconf (2.62)
michael@0: 
michael@0: The versions given  in parentheses are known to  work.  Newer versions
michael@0: should work too, of course.   Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper
michael@0: file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts.
michael@0: 
michael@0: The autogen.sh script  now checks the version of  above three packages
michael@0: whether they match the numbers  above.  Otherwise it will complain and
michael@0: suggest either upgrading or using  an environment variable to point to
michael@0: a more recent version of the required tool(s).
michael@0: 
michael@0: Note that  `aclocal' is provided  by the `automake' package  on Linux,
michael@0: and that `libtoolize' is called `glibtoolize' on Darwin (OS X).
michael@0: 
michael@0: 
michael@0: For static builds which  don't use platform specific optimizations, no
michael@0: configure script is necessary at all; saying
michael@0: 
michael@0:   make setup ansi
michael@0:   make
michael@0: 
michael@0: should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp).
michael@0: 
michael@0: 
michael@0: Similarly, a  build with  `cmake' can  be done  directly from  the git
michael@0: repository.
