71This source tree is based on the autotools suite from GNU to simplify
72portability. Here are some things you should have on your system in order to
73compile the git repository tree :
74
76fb4848 75- GNU autotools (automake >=1.10, autoconf >=2.50, autoheader >=2.50)
efc652bd 76 (make sure your system wide "automake" points to a recent version!)
0f71b863 77- GNU Libtool >=2.2
efc652bd 78 (for more information, go to http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)

79- Flex >=2.5.35.
80- Bison >=2.4.

82If you get the tree from the repository, you will need to use the "bootstrap"
83script in the root of the tree. It calls all the GNU tools needed to prepare the
84tree configuration.
