-Installation Instructions
-=========================
-
-Basic Installation
-------------------
-
-Building this software requires only Python. To install with default options:
-
- ./waf configure
- ./waf
- ./waf install # or sudo ./waf install
-
-Configuration Options
----------------------
-
-All supported options can be viewed using the command:
-
- ./waf --help
-
-Most options only need to be passed during the configure stage, for example:
-
- ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
- ./waf
- ./waf install
-
-Compiler Configuration
-----------------------
-
-Several standard environment variables can be used to control how compilers are
-invoked:
-
- * CC: Path to C compiler
- * CFLAGS: C compiler options
- * CXX: Path to C++ compiler
- * CXXFLAGS: C++ compiler options
- * CPPFLAGS: C preprocessor options
- * LINKFLAGS: Linker options
-
-Library Versioning
-------------------
-
-This library uses semantic versioning <http://semver.org/>.
-
-Several major versions can be installed in parallel. The shared library name,
-include directory, and pkg-config file are suffixed with the major version
-number. For example, a library named "foo" at version 1.x.y might install:
-
- /usr/include/foo-1/foo/foo.h
- /usr/lib/foo-1.so.1.x.y
- /usr/lib/pkgconfig/foo-1.pc
-
-Dependencies can check for the package "foo-1" with pkg-config.
-
-Packaging
----------
-
-Everything can be installed to a specific root directory by passing a --destdir
-option to the install stage (or setting the DESTDIR environment variable),
-which adds a prefix to all install paths. For example:
-
- ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
- ./waf
- ./waf install --destdir=/tmp/package
-
-Packages should allow parallel installation of several major versions. For
-example, the above would be packaged as "foo-1". \ No newline at end of file
