-`mkid' README.alpha-test
-
-Special instructions for alpha testers:
-
-* The code is pretty solid, so I expect most problems to be portability
- issues.
-
-* At least do this:
-
- ./configure --prefix test; make all; make check; make install.
-
- Make check should "echo OK" if it succeeded. This is not a very rigorous
- test, but it at least ensures sanity for the core tools.
- If all goes well and you want to start using it, reconfigure to install
- in a normal place, e.g.,
-
- # put things in /usr/local/{bin,lib,info} (the default)
- ./configure; make install
- -or-
- # put things in /usr/{bin,lib,info}
- ./configure --prefix /usr; make install
-
- If you have the time, patience and software, please build using both your
- vendor-supplied compiler and gcc. By default, configure will use gcc if
- it is available. You can override this by doing this:
-
- make distclean
- CC=vendor-supplied-cc ./configure # bourne-shell syntax
- -or-
- setenv CC vendor-supplied-cc; ./configure # csh syntax
-
-
-* If you run into build problems, please help by emailing me the following:
- * A brilliant, elegant patch to fix it. ;-)
- -- or, if you don't have time for that... --
- * The version of mkid you're trying to build
- (type ./mkid to get the usage banner which includes the version)
- * The output of "make -k all", to show me where it's dying.
- * The output of "uname -a"
- * The output of "nm" on your system's libc, if applicable.
-
-* Be aware that this is still work in progress. See TODO for a list of
- things yet undone.
-
-* Note that ID file format is incompatible with mkid2, so you'll have to
- rebuild your ID files. You should notice that the new mkid is faster.
