This file contains instructions for developers and advanced users that
wants to build from version controlled sources.

We require several tools to build the software, including:

- Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
- Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
- Libtool <http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/>
- Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
- help2man <http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/>
- Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
- Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
- Texlive & epsf <http://www.tug.org/texlive/> (for PDF manual)
- GTK-DOC <http://www.gtk.org/gtk-doc/> (for API manual)
- Git <http://git.or.cz/>
- Perl <http://www.cpan.org/>
- Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> (optional)

The required software is typically distributed with your operating
system, and the instructions for installing them differ.  Here are
some hints:

gNewSense/Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git-core autoconf automake libtool
sudo apt-get install texinfo texlive texlive-generic-recommended texlive-extra-utils
sudo apt-get install help2man gtk-doc-tools valgrind

To download the version controlled sources:

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libtasn1.git
$ cd libtasn1

The next step is to run autoreconf, ./configure, etc:

$ make bootstrap

Then build the project normally:

$ make
$ make check

Happy hacking!
