| Building this package from CVS is mainly intended for developers. |

| |
| These are *brief* instructions on how to build this package from CVS. |
| Yes, there are details left out. |
| |
| There are generally four steps necessary when building from CVS (i.e., |
| a developer's copy): |
| |
| 1. cvs checkout of the sources, or cvs update. RTFM from your |
| favorite flavor of CVS documentation; information on the xiph.org |
| CVS repository can be found at http://www.xiph.org/cvs.html. |
| |
| 2. [re-]generate files such as "configure" and "Makefile.in" with the |
| GNU autoconf/automake tools. Run the "autogen.sh" script to |
| perform this step. |
| |
| *** IF YOU ARE NOT BUILDING WITH GNU MAKE *AND* GCC: you must set |
| the AUTOMAKE_FLAGS environment variable to "--include-deps" |
| before running autogen.sh. For example: |
| |
| csh% setenv AUTOMAKE_FLAGS --include-deps |
| csh% ./autogen.sh |
| or |
| sh% AUTOMAKE_FLAGS=--include-deps ./autogen.sh |
| |
| 3. Run configure. There are several options available; see |
| "./configure --help" for more information. |
| |
| 4. Run "make" to build the source. |
| |
| In general, steps 2 and 3 need to be re-run every time any of the |
| following files are modified (either manually or by a cvs update): |
| |
| configure.in |
| acinclude.m4 |
| |
| Running "make clean" after running steps 2 and 3 is generally also |
| advisable before running step 4. It isn't *always* necessary, but |
| unless you understand the workings of autoconf/automake, it's safest |
| to just do it. |
