7GIT-INFO
8
9This file is only present in git - never in release archives. It contains
10information about other files and things that the git repository keeps in its
11inner sanctum.
12
13Compile and build instructions follow below.
14
15  CHANGES.0     contains ancient changes
16  CHANGES       contains the most recent changes
17
18  Makefile.dist is included as the root Makefile in distribution archives
19
20  perl/         is a subdirectory with various perl scripts
21
22To build in environments that support configure, after having extracted
23everything from git, do this:
24
25./buildconf
26./configure
27make
28
29  Daniel uses a ./configure line similar to this for easier development:
30
31  ./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
32
33In environments that don't support configure (i.e. Microsoft), do this:
34
35buildconf.bat
36
37
38REQUIREMENTS
39
40 For buildconf (not buildconf.bat) to work, you need the following software
41installed:
42
43 o autoconf 2.57  (or later)
44 o automake 1.7   (or later)
45 o libtool  1.4.2 (or later)
46 o GNU m4 (required by autoconf)
47
48 o nroff + perl
49
50   If you don't have nroff and perl and you for some reason don't want to
51   install them, you can rename the source file src/tool_hugehelp.c.cvs to
52   src/tool_hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this file. This will
53   give you a stubbed version of the file that doesn't contain actual content.

55MAC OS X
56
57 With Mac OS X 10.2 and the associated Developer Tools, the installed versions
58 of the build tools are adequate.  For Mac OS X 10.1 users, Guido Neitzer
59 wrote the following step-by-step guide:
60
61 1. Install fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net)
62 2. Update fink to the newest version (with the installed fink)
63 3. Install the latest version of autoconf, automake and m4 with fink
64 4. Install version 1.4.1 of libtool - you find it in the "unstable" section
65    (read the manual to see how to get unstable versions)
66 5. Get cURL from git
67 6. Build cURL with "./buildconf", "./configure", "make", "sudo make install"
