Evented I/O for V8 javascript.
===
### To build:
Prerequisites (Unix only):
* GCC 4.2 or newer
* G++ 4.2 or newer
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure
make
make install
```
If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a
non-standard name, run the following instead:
```sh
export PYTHON=/path/to/python
$PYTHON ./configure
make
make install
```
Prerequisites (Windows only):
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* Visual Studio 2010 or 2012
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild nosign
```
You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from
[http://nodejs.org/download/](http://nodejs.org/download/). The Windows
and OS X installers will prompt you for the location in which to install.
The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory
with:
```sh
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
```
Or system-wide with:
```sh
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
```
### To run the tests:
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
make test
```
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild test
```
### To build the documentation:
```sh
make doc
```
### To read the documentation:
```sh
man doc/node.1
```
### `Intl` (ECMA-402) support:
[Intl](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl) support is not
enabled by default.
#### "small" (English only) support
This option will build with "small" (English only) support, but
the full `Intl` (ECMA-402) APIs. With `--download=all` it will
download the ICU library as needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure --with-intl=small-icu --download=all
```
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild small-icu download-all
```
The `small-icu` mode builds
with English-only data. You can add full data at runtime.
*Note:* more docs are on
[the wiki](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl).
#### Build with full ICU support (all locales supported by ICU):
With the `--download=all`, this may download ICU if you don't
have an ICU in `deps/icu`.
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure --with-intl=full-icu --download=all
```
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild full-icu download-all
```
#### Build with no Intl support `:-(`
The `Intl` object will not be available.
This is the default at present, so this option is not normally needed.
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure --with-intl=none
```
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild intl-none
```
#### Use existing installed ICU (Unix/Macintosh only):
```sh
pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu
```
#### Build with a specific ICU:
You can find other ICU releases at
[the ICU homepage](http://icu-project.org/download).
Download the file named something like `icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz` (or
`.zip`).
Unix/Macintosh: from an already-unpacked ICU
```sh
./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu
```
Unix/Macintosh: from a local ICU tarball
```sh
./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu.tgz
```
Unix/Macintosh: from a tarball URL
```sh
./configure --with-intl=full-icu --with-icu-source=http://url/to/icu.tgz
```
Windows: first unpack latest ICU to `deps/icu`
[icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz](http://icu-project.org/download) (or `.zip`)
as `deps/icu` (You'll have: `deps/icu/source/...`)
```sh
vcbuild full-icu
```
