Hello World.

ABOUT
=====

hello is the famous example application implemented in C.

But this package not only provides this marvellous program including its 
documentation. Also there comes a configure script and a sample makefile 
with it.

The configure script ('configure' plus its own two configuration files 
'configure.files' and 'configure.macros') is capable to read in the makefile 
template 'Makefile.in' to produce the real makefile 'Makefile'.

Together with the standard unix tool 'make' the makefile can assist you to
- compile the hello source code ('hello.c') into a binary ('hello')
- install the binary onto your system
- install the manual page of hello ('hello.1') onto your system
- proceed the development of hello


INSTALL

For information about building and installing hello, see the file INSTALL.


DEPENDENCIES

Dependencies to build hello:
- a C library (tested with GNU C library glibc-2.6.1)
  If not building a static binary, only the headers are needed.
- a C compiler and linker (tested with GNU Compiler Collection gcc-4.1.2)
- a make tool (tested with GNU Make 3.81)
- a bourne compatible shell (tested with bash 3.2)

  cut, expr, grep, mktemp, rm, sed, tr
- some other tools, used by the makefile: 
  cp, gzip, install, rm, strip, tar

Dependencies to use hello:
- a C library (tested with GNU C library glibc-2.6.1)
