CompileGuides

Easiest way to compile openkb is to be on a proper unix machine. Just follow the

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openkb/code openkb-code
cd openkb-code
./autogen.sh
./configure
make vendor
make

procedure. (See here for other git clone options)
The make vendor step will init git submodules and wget some extra dependencies.

If you are using the source release, only the ./configure && make steps are necessary.

For other systems:

[Compile_OSX108] Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (could be useful for other OSX versions)
[Compile_MINGW] Microsoft Windows XP and above, with MinGW/MSYS toolset
