Requirements:
ANSI-C Compiler and Build System

The GNU C compiler (GCC) from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is recommended. In addition, your PATH must contain basic build tools such as make and flex.

Database systems

This Software supports the following database systems,
- MySQL - version 4.1 or above
- SQLite - version 3.0 or above

Client libraries for at least one of these database systems, must be installed on the host on which this Software will be built.

Installation:

This library utilize the GNU auto-tools and provided the requirements above are satisfied, building the library is conducted via the standard;

./configure
make
make install

Use ./configure --help for build and install options. By default, the library is built with support for SQLite and MySQL. You may change this with the --with-=no options to ./configure. E.g.

--with-mysql=no

To verify the library and run unit tests, do 'make verify'. You may also want to take a look at the test, test/pool.c, for examples on how to use the library.

Note that unit tests cannot be built if the following configure switches was used; --enable-protected and --enable-zild. These switches are used respectively for package protect non-api objects in the library and for usage with the zild application server.
