README.git
----------

The git  archive doesn't  contain pre-built configuration  scripts for
UNIXish platforms.  To generate them say

  sh autogen.sh

which in turn depends on the following packages:

  automake (1.10.1)
  libtool (2.2.4)
  autoconf (2.62)

The versions given  in parentheses are known to  work.  Newer versions
should  work too,  of course.   Note  that `autogen.sh`  also sets  up
proper file permissions for the `configure` and auxiliary scripts.

The `autogen.sh`  script now  checks the versions  of the  above three
packages  whether they  match the  numbers above.   Otherwise it  will
complain and suggest either upgrading or using an environment variable
to point to a more recent version of the required tool(s).

Note that  `aclocal` is provided  by the 'automake' package  on Linux,
and that `libtoolize` is called `glibtoolize` on Darwin (OS X).


For static  builds that don't use  platform-specific optimizations, no
configure script is necessary at all; saying

  make setup ansi
  make

should  work on  all platforms  that  have GNU  `make` (or  `makepp`).
Similarly, a build  with `cmake` or `meson` can be  done directly from
the git repository.


For  using  the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING`  macro  while  debugging (see  file
`docs/DEBUG`  for more  information)  the following  git commands  are
necessary to check out the 'dlg' library as a git submodule.

  git submodule init
  git submodule update
