27 For developers using the git tree:
28
29 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
30 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
31 compile the git repository tree :
32
33 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
34 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
35 - GNU Libtool >=2.2
36 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
37
38 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
39 script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
40 tree configuration.

43 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
44

46 Then:
47 $ ./configure
48 $ make
49 $ sudo make install
50 $ sudo ldconfig
51
52 If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
53 the configure script, to generate it.
