These notes intend to help people working on the development version of GDBM. * Requirements You need the following packages to build the CVS version of GNU DBM. We do not make any efforts to accommodate older versions of these packages, so please make sure that you have the latest stable version. - Automake - Autoconf - Libtool - Gettext - Texinfo * Bootstrapping Obviously, if you are reading these notes, you did manage to checkout GDBM from the repository. The next step is to get other files needed to build, which are extracted from other source packages: 1. Change to the source tree directory cd gdbm 2. Run ./bootstrap Once done, proceed as described in the file README. * Copyright information Copyright (C) 2011, 2017-2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
