Installation
============

WARNING, don't use the two build systems at the same time.

With autotools
--------------
The shell commands are './configure; make; make install'.

With Waf
--------
The build system is Waf (http://code.google.com/p/waf), the shell commandes are:
$ ./waf configure
$ ./waf build
$ sudo ./waf install

or 'waf' if you use a global Waf script.

The sources are built in the 'build' directory at the root of the
project source files.


Testing
=======

Some testing programs are provided in the tests directory, you can
freely edit the code source to fit your needs (it's Free Sofware :).

See tests/README for a description of each program.
