system requirements
The build process requires some additional software to be installed on your system. If you want to build, using the code from the source distribution, you will need:
- a c++ compiler
- Naturally, a c++ compiler is required to build the c++ code. I haven't tested many, but gcc 3.4.3 is known to work
- a make tool
- The make tool is used in the build process by auto*-tools suite
- pkg-config
- The pkg-config tool is used to find library dependencies and provide configuration to the ones who depend on us.
If you intend to build the software as checked out from the source repository, you will also have to install
- gnu autoconf
-
to build the
configurescript - gnu automake
-
to build the
Makefiles - gnu libtool
- to build the shared libraries.
