<h1>Jade autoconf support</h1>
<h4>(originally by Cees de Groot <A href="mailto:cg@sgmltools.org">cg@sgmltools.org</A>)</h4>

<p>With <code>./configure</code>, you'll have an alternate method to
prepare the source distribution for building. This support is
experimental, and I'd like to receive feedback and patches for your
operating system. If a build with autoconf doesn't work, you can
always revert to the original Makefile which is saved by configure to
<code>Makefile.dist</code>. <code>make mrproper</code> will undo
everything that has been modified by <code>./configure</code>.</p>

<h2>Usage</h2>

<pre>
% ./configure; make; make install
</pre>

<h2>configure options</h2>

<dl>

<dt><code>--help</code></dt>

<dd>Print a full list of options. This document only deals with the 
non-standard options.</dd>

<dt><code>--enable-http</code></dt>
<dd>This enables the built-in HTTP client so that you can use HTTP as
a method for getting to system identifiers.</dd>

<dt><code>--enable-default-catalog=<var>pathlist</var></code></dt>
<dd>Provide the built-in definition for <code>SGML_CATALOG_FILES</code>.</dd>

<dt><code>--enable-default-search-path=<var>pathlist</var></code>
<dd>Provide a built-in definition for <code>SGML_SEARCH_PATH</code>.</dd>

<dt><code>--disable-mif</code>
<dd>Don't build the MIF backend.</dd>

<dt><code>--disable-html</code>
<dd>Don't build the HTML backend.</dd>

</dl>

<h2>Local defines</h2>

<p>If you have some extra additions to OpenJade, you can set
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS/LIBS at configure time:</p>

<pre>
CXXFLAGS=-Dmyhacks LDFLAGS=-L/opt/myhacks LIBS=-lmyhacks ./configure
</pre>

<p>Check the invocation of ld in Makefile.comm for the exact semantics
of LDFLAGS and LIBS.</p>

<h2>Tested platforms</h2>

<ul>
<li>RedHat Linux 5.2 (egcs 1.0.3, glibc 2.0.7)</li>
<li>RedHat Linux 6.0 (gcc 2.95.1, glibc 2.1.1)</li>
<li>SuSE Linux 5.3 (gcc 2.7.2.1, libc 5.5.46)</li>
<li>Solaris 2.6 (gcc 2.8.1)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Shared library support</h2>

<p>By default, <code>./configure</code> attempts to build shared
libraries and link against them. This is done via the
<code>libtool</code> utility, a utility that knows how to build shared
libraries on a number of platforms.</p>
    
<p>By default, only shared libraries are built. If you have
difficulties building shared libraries, or you want to build static
versions, you can use the
<code>--{enable,disable}{shared,static}</code> options to configure
libtool to your likings.</p>

<p>According to the libtool 1.2 docs, shared libraries work on:</p>
<ul>
<li>AIX 3.x (*-*-aix3*)</li>
<li>AIX 4.x (*-*-aix4*)</li>
<li>AmigaOS (*-*-amigaos*)</li>
<li>Digital/UNIX 3.x, 4.x, a.k.a. OSF/1 (*-*-osf3*, *-*-osf4*)</li>
<li>FreeBSD 2.x, 3.x (*-*-freebsd2*, *-*-freebsd3*)</li>
<li>GNU/Linux ELF (*-*-linux-gnu*, except aout, coff, and oldld)</li>
<li>HP-UX 9.x, 10.x (*-*-hpux9*, *-*-hpux10*) [see note]</li>
<li>IRIX 5.x, 6.x (*-*-irix5*, *-*-irix6*)</li>
<li>NetBSD 1.x (*-*-netbsd*)</li>
<li>OpenBSD 2.x (*-*-openbsd*)</li>
<li>OS/2 using EMX (*-*-os2*)</li>
<li>SCO OpenServer 5.x (*-*-sco3.2v5*)</li>
<li>Solaris 2.x (*-*-solaris2*)</li>
<li>SunOS 4.x, a.k.a. Solaris 1.x  (*-*-sunos4*)</li>
<li>UnixWare 2.x (*-*-sysv4.2uw2*)</li>
<li>UTS 4.x (*-*-uts4*)</li>
<li>All ELF targets that use both the GNU C compiler (gcc) and GNU ld</li>
</ul>

<p>One more note from the libtool documentation: the HP/UX sed seems
to be badly broken, install GNU sed before attempting to build -
libtool depends on a working sed.</p>
