See end of file for copying conditions. + +* Introduction + + This is a *pre-release* version, and not ready for production use +yet. If you are taking source from CVS, you will need to have libtool, +automake, and autoconf installed to help contribute. See the chapter +`Building' for the detailed instructions. The script autogen.sh is +provided to help autoconfigure libumem from the cvs src. After you +run autogen.sh, there should be a file 'INSTALL' with (generic) +installation instructions. Package-specific installation instructions +are set forth in the file README. + + Please, note that the accompanying documentation may be inaccurate +or incomplete. The CVS history is the authoritative documentation of +all recent changes. + +Report bugs to (TODO: mailing list <>) + +* Checking Out the Sources + +The following instructions apply if you wish to obtain sources from +the CVS repository: + +To checkout the source tree from CVS issue the following command: + + cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@umem.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/umem co \ + -P umem + + This will give you read-only access. If you think you need write access, +contact the mailing list. + +* Building + + In order to build this you will first need to have right versions +of autotools and some auxiliary GNU programs. At the time of this +writing these are: + + Package Version (>=) + ======== ============ + automake 1.8.5 + autoconf 2.59 + libtool 1.5.8 + + To prepare the package for building run autogen.sh. Then run +./configure with the desired options (See INSTALL and README for the +detailed instructions). Finally, run make. Notice that the first make +of the package should be made in the source directory. Subsequent +makes can use build directory different from the source one. + +* Copyright information: + +Please see COPYRIGHT and OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE for the copyright +and license details.
