INSTALL.Discount

"Discount" is a C implementation of the Markdown markup language maintained
by David Parsons.

    http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/markdown/

The "Makefile", at least in version 1.3.1, doesn't includes a way to create
a shared library so that I'd like to keep a note how I did it.

Linux
-----
0. run configure.sh

1. put '-fPIC' into CC options and make the first line as below:

CC=cc -fPIC -I. -L.

2. add a line to create libmarkdown.so into MKDLIB block

$(MKDLIB): $(OBJS)
    $(AR) crv $(MKDLIB) $(OBJS)
    $(RANLIB) $(MKDLIB)
    $(CC) -shared -o libmarkdown.so $(OBJS)


Mac OS X
--------
0. run configure.sh

1. add a line to create libmarkdown.dynlib into MKDLIB block

$(MKDLIB): $(OBJS)
    $(AR) crv $(MKDLIB) $(OBJS)
    $(RANLIB) $(MKDLIB)
    $(CC) -dynaliclib -o libmarkdown.dynlib $(OBJS)


Note
----
Using libtools might be a good solution, but I'm not sure how to do it for now.
