 | GIT-INFO | 
 |  | 
 | This file is only present in git - never in release archives. It contains | 
 | information about other files and things that the git repository keeps in its | 
 | inner sanctum. | 
 |  | 
 | Compile and build instructions follow below. | 
 |  | 
 |   CHANGES.0     contains ancient changes | 
 |   CHANGES       contains the most recent changes | 
 |  | 
 |   Makefile.dist is included as the root Makefile in distribution archives | 
 |  | 
 |   perl/         is a subdirectory with various perl scripts | 
 |  | 
 | To build in environments that support configure, after having extracted | 
 | everything from git, do this: | 
 |  | 
 | ./buildconf | 
 | ./configure | 
 | make | 
 |  | 
 |   Daniel uses a ./configure line similar to this for easier development: | 
 |  | 
 |   ./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode | 
 |  | 
 | In environments that don't support configure (i.e. Microsoft), do this: | 
 |  | 
 | buildconf.bat | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | REQUIREMENTS | 
 |  | 
 |  For buildconf (not buildconf.bat) to work, you need the following software | 
 | installed: | 
 |  | 
 |  o autoconf 2.57  (or later) | 
 |  o automake 1.7   (or later) | 
 |  o libtool  1.4.2 (or later) | 
 |  o GNU m4 (required by autoconf) | 
 |  | 
 |  o nroff + perl | 
 |  | 
 |    If you don't have nroff and perl and you for some reason don't want to | 
 |    install them, you can rename the source file src/tool_hugehelp.c.cvs to | 
 |    src/tool_hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this file. This will | 
 |    give you a stubbed version of the file that doesn't contain actual content. | 
 |  | 
 | MAC OS X | 
 |  | 
 |  With Mac OS X 10.2 and the associated Developer Tools, the installed versions | 
 |  of the build tools are adequate.  For Mac OS X 10.1 users, Guido Neitzer | 
 |  wrote the following step-by-step guide: | 
 |  | 
 |  1. Install fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) | 
 |  2. Update fink to the newest version (with the installed fink) | 
 |  3. Install the latest version of autoconf, automake and m4 with fink | 
 |  4. Install version 1.4.1 of libtool - you find it in the "unstable" section | 
 |     (read the manual to see how to get unstable versions) | 
 |  5. Get cURL from git | 
 |  6. Build cURL with "./buildconf", "./configure", "make", "sudo make install" |
