"configure" program found in the root directory of the libffi source
distribution.
+If you're building libffi directly from version control, configure won't
+exist yet; run ./autogen.sh first.
+
You may want to tell configure where to install the libffi library and
header files. To do that, use the --prefix configure switch. Libffi
will install under /usr/local by default.
Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler. In this case, use the msvcc.sh
wrapper script during configuration like so:
-path/to/configure CC=path/to/msvcc.sh LD=link CPP=\"cl -nologo -EP\"
+path/to/configure CC=path/to/msvcc.sh CXX=path/to/msvcc.sh LD=link CPP=\"cl -nologo -EP\"
+
+For 64-bit Windows builds, use CC="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64" and
+CXX="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64". You may also need to specify --build
+appropriately.
-For 64-bit Windows builds, use CC="path/to/msvcc.sh -m64".
-You may also need to specify --build appropriately. When building with MSVC
-under a MingW environment, you may need to remove the line in configure
-that sets 'fix_srcfile_path' to a 'cygpath' command. ('cygpath' is not
-present in MingW, and is not required when using MingW-style paths.)

For iOS builds, the 'libffi.xcodeproj' Xcode project is available.
Configure has many other options. Use "configure --help" to see them all.
Once configure has finished, type "make". Note that you must be using
-GNU make. You can ftp GNU make from prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu.

To ensure that libffi is working as advertised, type "make check".
This will require that you have DejaGNU installed.
