 This release was built with the following tools.  You probably need  
 these tools (or later) if you want to hack seriously on it.  
8    
9  autoconf 2.57  autoconf 2.57
10  automake 1.7.5  automake 1.7.5
11  bison 1.875  bison 1.875
12  gettext 0.12.1  gettext 0.12.1
13    wget 1.7
14    
15    Before building the package, run bootstrap. You will need a POSIX
16    compliant shell to do so. The bootstrap utility obtains various
17    additional files from the CVS repository and the Translation Project
18    site and prepares the source directory for building. The exact way
19    of invoking bootstrap depends on whether you have the sources for gnulib
20    installed somewhere on your system and on the method you use to access
21    the CVS at savannah.
22    
23    If you already have gnulib sources on your machine, run:
24    
25            ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=DIRNAME
26    
27    Otherwise, if you have developer's access to savannah:
28    
29    a) if you access CVS via ssh, set the environment variable CVS_RSH
30    to ssh and run ./bootstrap without arguments.
31    
32    b) if you access CVS via Kerberos, run
33    
34            ./bootstrap --cvs-auth=gserver
35    
36    Othervise, if you are not a member of Savannah, run
37    
38            ./bootstrap --cvs-auth=pserver
39    
40    When prompted for a password for anoncvs, simply press the Enter key.
