Grecs README Copyright (C) 2011-2016 Sergey Poznyakoff See the end of file for copying conditions. * Introduction This file provides information on how to build a standalone version of Grecs from sources obtained from Git. For information about the standalone version, see the file README.standalone in this directory. For a detailed description of Grecs, see the documentation in the doc/ subdirectory, or visit http://grecs.man.gnu.org.ua. * Overview Grecs is a library for parsing structured configuration files from C programs. A structured configuration file has hierarchical structure, with block statements enclosing lower-level statements. Such configurations files are used by many programs, such as, e.g. Bind or Dico. Grecs provides primitives for parsing such files into an internal tree-like structure and for basic operations on such structures. These operations include value lookups by keyword paths, traversing trees recursively, joining several trees together, reductions, etc. * Requirements If you have taken the sources from GIT you will need the following packages to build the standalone library. I don't make any extra effort to accommodate older versions of these packages, so please make sure that you have the latest stable version. - Automake - Autoconf - Bison - Flex - M4 - Texinfo * Bootstrapping Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to check out Grecs from GIT. The next step is to prepare the sources for standalone build: 1. Create a placeholder for ChangeLog file: > ChangeLog This file is needed for the bootstrap process. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog after make. 2. Bootstrap the package: autoreconf -f -i -s 3. Configure and make: ./configure make * Bug reporting.
