-DMAKE 4.12
-==========
-
-This directory tree contains a number of files. Here is a short
-description of what each file contains so that you do not need to
-search as much. There is also a recommended order for reading them.
-
- read1st.txt - This file; generic information.
- intro.txt - Short note describing what 'dmake' is and where to
- get it from.
- release.txt - Changes of previous releases, and release specific
- notes. (Not longer continued.)
- ../NEWS - Changes from previous release. (Continuation of
- release.txt.)
- ../man/ - directory containing DMAKE manual page.
-
- public/ - Old build and installation instructions
- for the Dmake 4.1 public release. As of Dmake 4.2
- dmake switched to an autotools based build system
- and these instructions are not longer valid for
- operating systems that are supported by the autotools
- system.
- If you are on a system that is not supported you
- might still find some useful information there.
-
-Building Dmake
-==============
-
-With autotools
---------------
-Building dmake on systems that are supported by the autotools build system
-only requires the usual "./configure && make && make install" command.
-The configure command will notify you when your platform is not supported.
-
-With Microsoft C++ compiler
----------------------------
-For MS Visual C++ 6 and up run "make.bat win95-vpp40" in a command shell.
-This should create a dmake.exe in the top-level directory.
-
-It is possible to rename this to, say, dmake0.exe, delete the objects/
-sub-directory and then simply run "dmake0.exe" to build a new dmake.exe.
-Note that it is not necessary to have dmake rebuild itself in this way,
-but it is a nice test that your new dmake is working to see that it can.
-
-To install dmake, simply copy dmake.exe and the startup/ sub-directory to
-a directory of your choice. You may also want to copy the man/
-sub-directory for future access to the manual page.
-
-
-All other systems might look in the public/ directory for useful hints.
