Building from source

This project uses GNU Autotools (http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Autotools-Introduction.html#Autotools-Introduction).

The recommended way of building from source is as follows:

• run autoreconf --install from root directory
• mkdir build
• cd build
• ../configure
• make

That will configure build subdirectory to build the project, avoiding clutter on the root directory and generating all .o and binaries there. In particular it will generate the annabell program in build/src/annabell
