---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Author/Coordinator: Giacomo Stelluti Scala
Contributor(s): Steven Evans, Kevin Moore
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.9.3.19 beta (*3)
Latest Update: 31-jul-2012

Git home:
https://github.com/gsscoder/commandline

General Info:
This library allows command line arguments parsing.
This work were inspired by the GNU LIBC getopt()/getopt_long() functions
(check out: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Getopt.html).

Build:
READ THIS FIRST:
From version 1.9.0.3 Beta (*3) NAnt script still exists but It's not supported (or tested) anymore.
Unix/Mac:
./configure
make
Windows:
Use any compatible IDE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[WIN/NET] From version 1.6.0.5 (stable) the code use some C# 3.0 features (still
targeting .NET 2.0); to successfully compile the project you need to modify the NAnt
configuration file (NAnt.exe.config). Seek the <frameworks> node and add (e.g. after
net-2.0 definition) the content of NAnt.exe.config.part located in
{libroot}/doc/config folder.
[LINUX/MONO] When you compile with NAnt under Linux be sure to have a version of Mono
which supports C# 3.0 like 2.1 or higher (but I suggest you Mono 2.4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use NAnt (*2) (http://nant.sourceforge.net/), you should copy (*1) your
  nunit.framework.dll
to the {libroot}/lib subdirectory (located in the root directory of the library).
Unit Tests are compatible from NUnit 2.2.0.
Change current directory to {libroot}/nant.
Production Release:
	nant build
Debug+Tests Release:
	nant tests
Mono users must use 
	nant {target}
If you still have problems try adding -t:net-3.5 (or -t:mono-3.5 under Linux) between
nant command and target string.
You will find binaries in {libroot}/nant/build.out; warning each run will overwrite
the previous.
	
Unit Tests:
To run unit tests you should copy (*1)
	{libroot}/lib/nunit.framework.dll
in the build output directory
(created from NUnit build script -> {libroot}/nant/default.build)
	{libroot}/nant/build.out.

Documentation:
From version 1.9.0.3 Beta CHM HelpFile was removed from {libroot}/doc.
See online documentation section hosted on CodePlex project.

[NOTES]
*1) Under Linux/Mono you can use the nunit.framework.dll stored in the GAC,
using GAC Extraction Utility (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gac-get/);
see also: http://gsscoder.blogspot.com/2007/08/gac-extraction-utility-for-mono.html.

*2) I use NAnt 0.90 (Build 0.90.3780.0; release; 08/05/2010).

*3) In a production environment you should use a 'stable' version, an 'rc' (release
candidate) or an advanced 'beta' (a 'beta' published for a long time and stated quite stable).

*4) Full documentation is currently under construction. Please refer to Quickstart
guide and informations published starting from the project's home.
