Bootstrapping the repository

Bootstrapping is only necessary from git, never when building from release archives.

To set up the source directory and build straight from git, you need:

• automake
• autoconf
• gettext (if you want translation support)

Once you've cloned the git repo, in environments that support configure shell scripts, to bootstrap and build run

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

with whatever configure options you want.

The standard make targets should work, see here.
make distclean should delete all the stuff created by configure.

configure options

--enable-debug
Enables assertions
Debug mode is disabled by default
I use ./configure --enable-debug CFLAGS='-g' for debugging

--disable-tui
Compiles without the curses-based TUI
TUI is enabled by default

--disable-nls
Compiles without internationalisation (i18n) support
i18n is enabled by default

Testing

The /testing directory contains scripts and suppression files for uncrustify, cppcheck and valgrind.
