README for GNU Serveez

See end for copying conditions.


Description
===========
>BLURB< (see dist-hook in Makefile.am)


Requirements
============

Serveez needs GNU Guile (Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions).
This current version is known to work with Guile 1.3 and later.

It also needs a reasonably conformant C99 compiler.  For more information,
please refer to the section "Building and installing" in the manual.


Installation
============

See INSTALL for general instructions on configuring and building Serveez.
See the manual (doc/serveez.info) chapter "Using Serveez", for details on
the various options you can pass to the configure script, apart from the
usual options for customizing the installation directories (.e.g, --prefix).

If you have problems building the package out of the box, this may be due
to GNU libtool's inability to handle dynamic linking for your platform.
In that case, try reconfiguring with `--disable-shared'.

If Serveez is configured to install libserveez and its header files,
then installation populates the following directories (creating them
first, if necessary) with various files:

 $(bindir)     -- executables: serveez, serveez-config
 $(mandir)     -- manpages: serveez(1), serveez-config(1)
 $(includedir) -- libserveez.h
                  libserveez/*.h (includes subdirs and headers)
 $(libdir)     -- libserveez shared object + libtool support file(s)
 $(infodir)    -- serveez.info
 $(pkgdatadir) -- scheme (*.scm) files implementing guile servers

Otherwise, only a subset is installed: $(bindir)/serveez,
$(mandir)/serveez.1, ($infodir)/serveez.info, $(pkgdatadir)/*.scm.

Before installing, consider doing "make check" and reporting any errors
or strangeness you might encounter to bug-serveez (at gnu dot org).


Getting the latest source
=========================

You can always get the latest Serveez source from our public repository.
Please use an official release if you want to work with Serveez.  The
source from the repository might not even compile.

    $ git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/serveez.git

Run `sh autogen.sh' (see comments for prerequisite tools) to bootstrap.
Also, you might need to configure with `--enable-maintainer-mode'.
