7# GIT-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
13To build in environments that support configure, after having extracted
14everything from git, do this:
15
16    autoreconf -fi
17    ./configure --with-openssl
18    make
19
20Daniel uses a configure line similar to this for easier development:
21
22    ./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
23
24In environments that don't support configure (i.e. Windows), do this:
25
26    buildconf.bat
27
28## REQUIREMENTS
29
30For `autoreconf` and `configure` (not `buildconf.bat`) to work, you need the
31following software installed:
32
33 o autoconf 2.57  (or later)
34 o automake 1.7   (or later)
35 o libtool  1.4.2 (or later)
36 o GNU m4 (required by autoconf)
37 o perl
38
39If you don't have perl and don't want to install it, you can rename the source
40file `src/tool_hugehelp.c.cvs` to `src/tool_hugehelp.c` and avoid having to
41generate this file. This will give you a stubbed version of the file that
42doesn't contain actual content.
