GIT-INFO

This file is only present in git - never in release archives. It contains information about other files and things that the git repository keeps in its inner sanctum.

To build in environments that support configure, after having extracted everything from git, do this:

autoreconf -fi
./configure --with-openssl
make

Daniel uses a configure line similar to this for easier development:

./configure --disable-shared --enable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode

In environments that don't support configure (i.e. Windows), do this:

buildconf.bat

REQUIREMENTS

For autoreconf and configure (not buildconf.bat) to work, you need the following software installed:

o autoconf 2.57 (or later) o automake 1.7 (or later) o libtool 1.4.2 (or later) o GNU m4 (required by autoconf) o perl

If you don't have perl and don't want to install it, you can rename the source file src/tool_hugehelp.c.cvs to src/tool_hugehelp.c and avoid having to generate this file. This will give you a stubbed version of the file that doesn't contain actual content.
