  32 To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
  33
  34 - ./configure
  35 - make
  36 - make install
  37
  38 After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and

  62 * For Developers
  63
  64 This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
  65 portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
  66 compile the git repository tree :
  67
  68
  69 - GNU autotools (automake >=1.7, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
  70   (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
  71 - GNU Libtool
  72   (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
  73
  74 If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh
  75 script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
