INSTALL

The instructions below assume you're building from the tarball.  If you're
pulling the sources from git, you need to install libtool, automake and
autoconf then run ./autogen.sh prior to running ./configure.


Unix
====

On an Unix system, do:
    + apt-get install libz-dev libbz2-dev liblzma-dev libzstd-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev
       Or equivalent.  If you skip this step, the .gz/.bz2/.xz/.zst support
       won't get compiled in.  Without libcurl, http/https/gopher/... URLs won't
       be available.
    + ./configure
    + make


Windows
=======

Building the Windows version from source is more tricky.  To compile it, you
need a way to run the GNU configure.  It can be done by:

* getting MinGW and MSYS
    + download them from http://mingw.org
    + ./configure
    + make
    
* using Cygwin
    for cygwin:
    + ./configure
    + make
    
    for mingw:
    + CC=/cygdrive/c/MinGW/bin/gcc ./configure
    + make

* cross-compiling from an Unix platform
    + ./configure --host i586-mingw32msvc
    + make


For the compression plugins, you'll need to grab zlib, libbz2 and/or lzma.
If you're building for Cygwin (but not just on Cygwin), please install them
from Cygwin's repositories.

For native win32, it's easiest to do so by cloning the submodule:
    + git submodule update --init
If you're putting them together by hand, put the files into win32/lib/ :
* zlib:
    + zconf.h
    + zlib.h
    + libz.dll.a
    + zlib1.dll
* bzlib:
    + bzlib.h
    + libbz2.dll.a
    + bzip2.dll
* lzma:
    + lzma.h
    + lzma/*.h
    + liblzma.a
    + liblzma.dll
* zstd:
    + zstd.h
    + libzstd.dll.a
    + libzstd.dll
