Dependencies for building and using distcc          -*- indented-text -*-



To use distcc:

  Nothing special is required, however it will be more fun if you have
  a C/C++ compiler and a make that can run commands in parallel, like
  GNU Make or BSD make.


To build distcc:

  libpopt (headers and library)
 
    distccd uses the popt library for parsing command-line arguments.

    You can either link distcc against a shared library installed on
    your system, or use the included copy.  The configure scripts
    should automatically fall back to the included copy, or you can
    force this using --with-included-popt.

    On some platforms, libpopt may not be on the default library and
    header search paths.  You must in that case specify it's location
    either by setting the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS before running
    configure.

    popt can be obtained from 

      ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.1.x/

  GNU Make, or something close to it

  C compiler

    
To run the test suite:

  Invoke with with "make check"

  Python 2.2


To build the documentation:

  This is only required if you modify the SGML source, or if you are
  building from CVS.  Built documents are included in release
  tarballs.

  Linuxdoc SGML tools


To build the web pages:
  
  Latte <www.latte.org>
  rsync (to upload)


To change the Makefiles or configure.ac:

  autoconf2.50 or later
