! 
! 1) Using the flext build system
! 1.1) Building flext
! 1.2) Building externals
! 
! 2) Using autoconf
! 
! 3) Other ways to compile flext and flext-based externals
! 
! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 
! 1) Using the flext build system
! ===============================
! 
! flext provides a universal build system which supports
! 
! - various operating systems
! 	Windows (win)
! 	Linux (lnx)
! 	MacOSX (mac)
! - various real-time systems
! 	Pure Data (pd)
! 	Max/MSP (max)
! - various make programs
! 	GNU make (gnumake)
! 	Microsoft nmake (nmake)
! 	Borland make (bmake)
! - various compilers
! 	Microsoft Visual C/C++ 6.0 or .NET 2002/2003 (msvc)
! 	GNU gcc 2.95 and above (gcc,cygwin,mingw)
! 	Borland bcc32 (bcc)
! 
! Useful combinations of the above are
! 
! win pd msvc, using nmake
! win pd cygwin, using gnumake
! win pd mingw, using gnumake
! win max msvc, using nmake
! win pd bcc, using bmake
! mac pd gcc, using gnumake
! mac max gcc, using gnumake - Mach-O externals only (Max 4.5 upwards)
! 
! 
! There are two central scripts in the flext folder which invoke the building process:
! - build.sh for bash shells (Linux, MacOSX, cygwin)
! - build.bat for the Windows command prompt
! 
! A project needs to provide some information in order to be built properly.
! By default, this resides in a file called package.txt
! 
! 
! Please note, that the build system is shell-oriented, which means, that you'll have
! to launch a command prompt (cmd.exe under Windows) and probably also set some
! environment variables for your development system (e.g. run vcvars32.bat for Microsoft Visual Studio)
! 
! By invoking one of the build scripts (e.g. with "bash build.sh" under unix, 
! or just "build" unter Windows) you'll get some lines of help.
! Operating System, real-time system and compiler need to be provided as arguments.
! 
! 
! See buildsys/readme.txt for developer-centered information.
! 
! 
! 1.1) Building flext
! ===================
! 
! Flext can build itself using the build system.
! From the flext main directory, run the build script
! 
! e.g. under Windows
! 	build win pd msvc
! or under unix with
! 	bash build.sh lnx pd gcc
! 
! When you run it for the first time, one or more configuration files will be created 
! from templates - you will get a message on the console. 
! You should edit the files to adapt it to your system.
! 
! Then install flext with (under Windows)
! 	build win pd msvc install
! or (under unix)
! 	bash build.sh lnx pd gcc install
! 
! 
! 1.2) Building externals
! =======================
! 
! The flext build system can be used to compile flext-based externals or also
! native PD and Max/MSP externals, provided there is a package.txt file in the project folder.
! 
! In the shell, change to the project folder.
! Then, simply run the flext build script, 
! 
! e.g. under Windows
! 	..\flext\build win pd msvc
! Then install your newly built external with
! 	..\flext\build win pd msvc install
! 
! or under unix with
! 	bash ../flext/build.sh lnx pd gcc
! Then install your external with
! 	bash ../flext/build.sh lnx pd gcc install
! 
! 
! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 
! 2) Using autoconf
! =================
! 
! Thanks to Tim Blechmann, flext can also be built using autoconf.
! This only works under unix shells.
! 
! When starting from a fresh cvs-based copy of flext first run
! ./bootstrap.sh
! 
! then you can run
! ./configure --help 
! to get a page of options.
! 
! You need to pass the path to the PD source files to the ./configure script, e.g. with
! ./configure --with-sysdir=/usr/local/src/pd/src
! 
! Then build flext with
! make
! and install it with
! su -c "make install"
! 
! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
! 
! 3) Other ways to compile flext and flext-based externals
! ========================================================
! 
! - Windows - Microsoft Visual Studio projects (.vcproj files)
! 
!     Please have a look at the projects delivered with flext and flext-based externals.
! 
! - MacOSX - Apple Xcode projects (.xcode bundles)
! 
!     Please have a look at the projects delivered with flext and flext-based externals.
! 
!     Xcode projects often use some Source Trees (definable in the Xcode Preferences).
!     - Flext - the flext main folder
!     - PD - the PD installation
!     - Max SDK - the Max SDK (path ending with "c74support")
!     - Max Common - Max common files (normally /Library/Application\ Support/Cycling\ \'74 )
! 
! - MacOSX - Metrowerks Codewarrior (.mcp files)
! 
!     You should have the following "Source Trees" (CW preferences, not project specific!) defined:
!     "OS X Volume" - Pointing to your OSX boot drive
!     "flext" - Pointing to the flext main directory
!     "Cycling74 OSX" - Pointing to the SDK for Max/MSP - the path should end with /c74support
! 
!     With your project using flext use the prefix file "flcwmax-x.h" or, 
!     alternatively "flcwmax-x-thr.h" for threading support.
! 
! - MacOS9 - Metrowerks Codewarrior (.mcp files)
! 
!     You should have the following "Source Trees" (CW preferences, not project specific!) defined:
!     "flext" - Pointing to the flext main directory
!     "Cycling74" - Pointing to the Cycling 74 SDK
!     "MP SDK" - Pointing to the Multiprocessing SDK (for threading support)
! 
!     With your project using flext use the prefix file "flcwmax.h" or, 
!     alternatively "flcwmax-thr.h" for threading support.

! 1.3) Building externals
! =======================
! 
! Both flext and flext-based externals have been successfully built with the 
! following combination of platform-system-compiler, build type.
! A missing combination does not necessarily mean that it won't work.
