-GnuTLS README-alpha -- Information for developers
-=================================================
-
-This file contains instructions for developers and advanced users that
-want to build from version controlled sources.
-
-We require several tools to check out and build the software, including:
-
-* Make <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
-* Automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/> (use 1.11.3 or later)
-* Autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
-* Autogen <http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/> (use 5.16 or later)
-* Libtool <http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/>
-* Gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
-* Texinfo <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
-* Tar <http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/>
-* Gzip <http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/>
-* Texlive & epsf <http://www.tug.org/texlive/> (for PDF manual)
-* CVS <http://www.gnu.org/software/cvs/> (for gettext autopoint)
-* GTK-DOC <http://www.gtk.org/gtk-doc/> (for API manual)
-* Git <http://git-scm.com/>
-* Perl <http://www.cpan.org/>
-* Valgrind <http://valgrind.org/> (optional)

-* gperf <http://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/>
-* libtasn1 <http://josefsson.org/libtasn1/> (optional)
-* datefudge <http://packages.debian.org/datefudge> (optional)
-* Libidn <http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/> (optional, for internationalization of DNS)
-* AWK <http://www.gnu.org/software/awk/> (for make dist, pmccabe2html)
-* git2cl <http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/git2cl/> (for make dist, ChangeLog)
-* softhsm <http://www.opendnssec.org/softhsm/> (for testing smart card support)
-* dieharder <http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php> (for testing PRNG)
-* bison <http://www.gnu.org/software/bison> (for datetime parser in certtool)
-* libunbound <https://unbound.net/> (for DANE support)
-* nodejs <http://nodejs.org/> (needed for certain test cases)
-* abi-compliance-checker <http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker> (for make dist)

-The required software is typically distributed with your operating
-system, and the instructions for installing them differ. Here are
-some hints:
-
-gNewSense/Debian/Ubuntu:
-```
-apt-get install git-core autoconf libtool gettext autopoint
-apt-get install texinfo texlive texlive-generic-recommended texlive-extra-utils
-apt-get install help2man gtk-doc-tools valgrind
-apt-get install guile-2.0-dev libtasn1-6-dev
-apt-get install libidn11-dev gawk gperf
-apt-get install libunbound-dev dns-root-data bison
-```
-
-You will sometimes need to install more recent versions of Automake,
-Nettle, P11-kit and Autogen, which you will need to build from
-sources. If your system has the recent versions, you could do:
-
-```
-apt-get install automake autogen nettle-dev libp11-kit-dev
-```
-
-For basic interoperability testing you may want to install openssl
-and polarssl. The packages below are used during make check.
-
-```
-apt-get install libpolarssl-runtime openssl
-apt-get install nodejs softhsm datefudge
-```
-
-To download the version controlled sources:
-
-```
-$ git clone git://gitorious.org/gnutls/gnutls.git
-$ cd gnutls
-```
-
-The next step is to run autoreconf (etc) and then ./configure:
-
-```
-$ make bootstrap
-```
-
-When built this way, some developer defaults will be enabled. See
-cfg.mk for details.
-
-Then build the project normally:
-
-```
-$ make
-$ make check
-```
-
-Individual tests that may require additional hardware (e.g., smart cards)
-are:
-```
-$ sh tests/suite/testpkcs11
-```
-
-If you wish to contribute, you may read more about our coding style in
-doc/README.CODING_STYLE. Note that when contributing code that is not
-assigned to FSF, you will need to assert that the contribution is in
-accordance to the "Developer's Certificate of Origin" as found in the
-file doc/DCO.txt. That can be done by sending a mail with your real name to
-the gnutls-devel mailing list. Then just make sure that your contributions
-(patches), contain a "Signed-off-by" line, with your name and e-mail address.
-To automate the process use "git am -s" to produce patches.
-
-Happy hacking!
