9 This file is only present in the CVS - never in release archives. It contains
10 information about other files and things that the CVS repository keeps in its
13 Compile and build instructions follow below.
15 CHANGES.0 contains ancient changes.
16 CHANGES.$year contains changes for the particular year.
19 is for analyzing the output generated by curl if -DCURLDEBUG
20 is used when compiling (run configure with --enable-debug)
22 buildconf builds the makefiles and configure stuff
24 Makefile.dist is included as the root Makefile in distribution archives
26 perl/ is a subdirectory with various perl scripts
28 To build after having extracted everything from CVS, do this:
34 Daniel uses a ./configure line similar to this for easier development:
36 ./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
41 You need the following software installed:
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)
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/hugehelp.c.cvs to
52 src/hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this file. This will of course
53 give you an older version of the file that isn't up-to-date. That file was
54 checked in once and won't be updated very regularly.
58 If you don't have yacc or bison, you must rename the lib/getdate.c.cvs file
59 to lib/getdate.c to be able to build libcurl. yacc/bison is normally used
60 to generate the lib/getdate.c file from the lib/getdate.y source file.
64 With Mac OS X 10.2 and the associated Developer Tools, the installed versions
65 of the build tools are adequate. For Mac OS X 10.1 users, Guido Neitzer
66 wrote the following step-by-step guide:
68 1. Install fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net)
69 2. Update fink to the newest version (with the installed fink)
70 3. Install the latest version of autoconf, automake and m4 with fink
71 4. Install version 1.4.1 of libtool - you find it in the "unstable" section
72 (read the manual to see how to get unstable versions)
73 5. Get cURL from the cvs
74 6. Build cURL with "./buildconf", "./configure", "make", "sudo make install"
