CVS-INFO
This file is only present in the CVS - never in release archives. It contains
information about other files and things that the CVS repository keeps in its
inner sanctum.
Compile and build instructions follow below.
CHANGES.0 contains ancient changes.
CHANGES.$year contains changes for the particular year.
tests/memanalyze.pl
is for analyzing the output generated by curl if -DCURLDEBUG
is used when compiling (run configure with --enable-debug)
buildconf builds the makefiles and configure stuff
Makefile.dist is included as the root Makefile in distribution archives
perl/ is a subdirectory with various perl scripts
To build after having extracted everything from CVS, do this:
./buildconf
./configure
make
Daniel uses a ./configure line similar to this for easier development:
./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
REQUIREMENTS
You need the following software installed:
o autoconf 2.57 (or later)
o automake 1.7 (or later)
o libtool 1.4.2 (or later)
o GNU m4 (required by autoconf)
o nroff + perl
If you don't have nroff and perl and you for some reason don't want to
install them, you can rename the source file src/hugehelp.c.cvs to
src/hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this file. This will of course
give you an older version of the file that isn't up-to-date. That file was
checked in once and won't be updated very regularly.
o yacc/bison
If you don't have yacc or bison, you must rename the lib/getdate.c.cvs file
to lib/getdate.c to be able to build libcurl. yacc/bison is normally used
to generate the lib/getdate.c file from the lib/getdate.y source file.
MAC OS X
With Mac OS X 10.2 and the associated Developer Tools, the installed versions
of the build tools are adequate. For Mac OS X 10.1 users, Guido Neitzer
wrote the following step-by-step guide:
1. Install fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net)
2. Update fink to the newest version (with the installed fink)
3. Install the latest version of autoconf, automake and m4 with fink
4. Install version 1.4.1 of libtool - you find it in the "unstable" section
(read the manual to see how to get unstable versions)
5. Get cURL from the cvs
6. Build cURL with "./buildconf", "./configure", "make", "sudo make install"
