# "README"

This project demonstrates basic use of GNU autotools.  

Getting started:
Upon first checkout from cvs, run the './bootstrap' script.
This runs the autotools and copy/links all of the necessary support files.

To build in the source directory, run './configure' and then 'make'.
(In some cases, GNU make is installed as 'gmake'.)
Alternately, you could make a "VPATH" build directory like so:
mkdir build; cd build; ../configure; make

To run some tests, 'make check'.  (There are none.)

To install, 'make install', and to uninstall, 'make uninstall'.
You may need root privilieges if your --prefix path is root-owned.  

To clean everything produced by make, 'make clean'.
To clean everything produced by configure 'make distclean'.

To make a distribution (and test it), 'make distcheck'.
