   3 These notes intend to help people working on the CVS version of
   4 this package.

   6 * Requirements
   7
   8 Only the sources are installed in the CVS repository (to ease the
   9 maintenance, merges etc.), therefore you will have to get the latest
  10 stable versions of the maintainer tools we depend upon, including:
  11
  12 - Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
  13 - Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
  14 - Bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/>
  15 - Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
  16 - Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
  17 - Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
  18 - Wget <http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/>
  19
  20 As of this writing, the latest stable version of Gzip is 1.2.4 but we
  21 suggest using test version 1.3.5 (or later, if one becomes available).
  22
  23 Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> is also highly recommended, if
  24 Valgrind supports your architecture.
  25
  26 Only building the initial full source tree will be a bit painful,
  27 later, a plain `cvs update -P && make' should be sufficient.
  28
  29 * First CVS checkout
  30
  31 Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out
  32 this package from CVS.  The next step is to get other files needed to
  33 build, which are extracted from other source packages:
  34
  35         $ ./bootstrap
  36
  37 And there you are!  Just
  38
  39         $ ./configure
  40         $ make
  41         $ make check
  42
  43 At this point, there should be no difference between your local copy,
  44 and the CVS master copy:
  45
  46         $ cvs diff
  47
  48 should output no difference.
  49
  50 Enjoy!
