* For Developers
portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
compile the subversion repository tree :
-
-GNU autotools (automake-1,7, autoconf2.50, autoheader2.50)
-(make sure your system wide "automake" points to version 1.7!)
-GNU Libtool
-(for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
+- GNU autotools (automake >=1.7, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
+ (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
+- GNU Libtool
+ (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the autogen.sh
script. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the tree configuration.
