All you need to know when hacking (modifying) GNU libcharset or when building it off the CVS. Requirements ============ You will need reasonably recent versions of the build tools: * A C compiler. Such as GNU GCC. + Homepage: http://gcc.gnu.org/ * GNU autoconf + Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ * GNU m4 + Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/ * Perl + Homepage: http://www.perl.org/ And, of course, the packages listed in the DEPENDENCIES file. Building off the CVS ==================== Access to the CVS is described at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=51585 . After fetching the sources from the CVS, peek at the comments in autogen.sh, then run "./autogen.sh"; then you can proceed with "./configure" as usual.
