Hi everyone,

I'm sorry for the multiple posting here - I realize I should post only
to one of the flaim lists, but I wanted to be sure to catch everyone's
attention, since we haven't done much with this project lately.

The FLAIM project:

   http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/FLAIM
   http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?flaim

has just been updated with a brand new Autotools build system for Unix
and Linux based systems.

We've not yet released a tarball containing this new build system, so if
you'd like to play with it, you'll have to checkout the FLAIM projects
from here:

   https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/flaim/trunk

Once this is done, you can execute:

   $ autoreconf -i
   $ ./configure && make all check

from the top-level (trunk) directory to build in your work area. If you
wish to build in a remote build directory, just replace the second line
above with:

   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
   $ ../configure && make all check

(or from any other relative path you wish). To build the entire set of
features, you'll need to have the following packages installed:

 - g++ (and company)
 - mono (for the csharp bindings)
 - java (for the java bindings)
 - doxygen (for doxygen docs)

The last three are optional, and the system will build without them,
minus those features.

This new build system will NOT build Windows or NetWare versions of
FLAIM. I'm currently working on a Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 build
system for Windows builds. If you check out the latest repository,
you'll see the beginnings of this build system in various "win32"
directories scattered about.

Enjoy!
John
