echo "
On UNIX systems, the BOINC software (both server and client)
can be built by typing
<pre>
  ./_autosetup
  ./configure [see options below]
  make
  make install  [optional: installs libraries and header files useful for building apps]
</pre>
in the top directory.

<h3>Configuration</h3>

<p>
Usage:
<pre>
./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
</pre>

You can use environment
variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE.
Example: to compile BOINC with strict compiler warnings, use
<pre>
./configure CXXFLAGS=\"-Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -fno-common \"
</pre>

<p>
Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

<h2>Source layout</h2>

<p>
  The top-level <code>Makefile.am</code> contains the
  <code>SUBDIRS=</code> line which sets up directory recursion, and
  the rules for creating source distributions.
<p>
  Each subdirectory's <code>Makefile.am</code> contains the rules for
  making the binaries and libraries in that directory and any extra
  files to distribute.
<p>
  Usually you will want to run <code>make</code> from the top level
  (the directory containing the file <code>configure</code>), but
  sometimes it is useful to run <code>make</code> and <code>make
    check</code> in certain subdirectories (e.g. <code>client/</code>).

<h2>Adding new directories</h2>
If you create a new directory with another <code>Makefile.am</code>,
you should
<ul>
<li> make sure the directory is referenced by
a <code>SUBDIRS=</code> line from its
parent <code>Makefile.am</code>
<li>
add it to the
AC_CONFIG_FILES directive in <code>configure.ac</code>.
</ul>

<h2>Version number</h2>
To set the BOINC client version:
<pre>
  set-version 7.17.56
</pre>
in the BOINC top-level source directory.  This updates
the <code>AC_INIT</code> line in
<code>configure.ac</code> and regenerates files that use the version numbers
(config.h, py/version.py, test/version.inc, client/win/win_config.h, Makefiles)

<h2>Archival/source distribution</h2>
To make source distributions:
<pre>
  gmake dist
</pre>
