#24 Installation procedure/instructions are missing
As distributed the package lacks installation-instructions. Certainly, the library itself (in static and dynamic variant) should be installed, but what about the app-binaries? Are any of them considered "supported"? Also, what about the header files -- which are part of the API and which are "internal"?
The API-ones are expected to be supported in future releases... Please, consider adding proper install-targets to Makefiles or, at least, installation instructions in English to the documentation. Thank you!
This is, how Debian are packaging udt-devel:
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libudt-dev/filelist
In other words, they install ALL header files, but don't compile ANY of the sample applications -- all of those are installed in source-code as examples.
Is this the correct approach or should some of the header-files be unavailable from code, that's not part of UDT?
Also, the apps seem to be useful on their own (and thus should be compiled and installed under bin/) -- is that correct, or are they meant as nothing but examples?
I'm trying to create a FreeBSD port of UDT...
Only udt.h is required for application. All other headers are internal and no need to expose them in distribution.
The programs in ./app directory are for testing purpose. I don't recommend to pack them in an installation package either.
Really? I thought, the utilities can be used out of the box -- and was going to install them as bin/udt-sendfile, bin/udt-recvfile, etc.
Are they not usable out of the box like that? Shouldn't they be?
