README.Developers

Padb is managed by autoconf and all the normal build rules apply,
"./configure && make && make install" being the normal build mechanism.

A file called "autogen.sh" is provided to convert a raw Subversion tree
into a tree which is buildable in the standard autoconf way.  After a
checkout of the source all a developer needs to do is to execute the
following command once and he can then build as normal.

$ ./autogen.sh

No dependency on any particular version of autoconf is known, I have tested
with 2.61 and 2.65 at this time.


It is still possible to build and run this package without using autoconf,
padb itself is a stand-alone perl program contained in a single file.  The
helper program, minfo, is a c program can be compiled with the command
"make -f Makefile-simple" executed from the src directory.
