-05222002 - The internal zlib is now always built (but only linked in if
- needed). This is so "make dist" includes the sources in the
- tarball. I wonder if there's way to get them included without
- compiling them when they aren't needed.
+05222002 - Fixed the build system to always package the complete source, not
+ just what we built for a given system, when doing a "make dist".
+ Updated INSTALL. Started writing BeOS platform code.
05212002 - Cleaned up some FIXMEs.
05202002 - Added .cvsignore files.
05162002 - Edward Rudd also caught an embarrassing screwup by me in

-UNIX:
-
-Edit "Makefile", and follow the instructions. The defaults are probably okay
-for general purposes, but give it a once over to make sure. If you don't have
-zLib on your system, you'll need to disable ZIP support.
+UNIX and BeOS:
+(If you got this code from CVS, run "./bootstrap" first.)
-run "make"
+Run ./configure --help and see what features can be optionally enabled or
+disabled. "./configure" does its best to pick optimal defaults for your
+platform.
-That's it. The library will be sitting in a new directory called "bin".
-
-Run "make install" to install the library for use on your system.
+Run "make".
+As root, run "make install".
+If you get sick of the library, run "make uninstall" as root and it will
+remove all traces of the library from the system paths.
WIN32:
-Download http://icculus.org/physfs/downloads/physfs-win32-support.zip, and
-unpack in the root of the source directory, preserving directory names. If
-you did it correctly, there should be a directory named "zlib114" in the
-same directory as "physfs.h". This archive has Visual C project files and
-the code needed for zipfile support in PhysicsFS, since most Windows boxes
-don't have zlib preinstalled.
+If building with CygWin, follow the Unix instructions, above.

+Otherwise, get http://icculus.org/physfs/downloads/physfs-win32-support.zip,
+and unpack in the root of the source directory, preserving directory names. If
+you did it correctly, there should be a file named "physfs.dsp" in the
+same directory as "physfs.h". That zipfile has Visual C project files for
+Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET. If you're using Visual C, point the
+IDE at physfs.dsp, and build. If you're using any other compiler, send me a
+patch when you get it working. :)
IMPORTANT: If you are using anything older than Visual Studio.NET, you
will _NEED_ to upgrade to the latest Platform SDK from Microsoft. It is a
free download: http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
-Be sure to install _at least_ the Core SDK and the WMI SDK. I'm not sure if
-this is needed (or usable for Cygwin). Even though you need these SDK updates,
-the compiled PhysicsFS DLL should work on any win32 platform from Win95 and
-WinNT 4.0 and later.
