GNUstep makefile package
************************

Here is some introductory info to get you started:

What is the GNUstep makefile package?
=====================================

   The makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way to
write makefiles for a GNUstep-based project.  It allows the user to
write a project without having to deal with the complex issues
associated with configuration, building, installation, and packaging.
It also allows the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.

Information
===========

   The file `NEWS' has the library's feature history.

   The files `INSTALL' or `GNUstep-HOWTO' give instructions for
installing the library. Also see the `machines' documentation and
various machine specific READMEs in the Documentation directory.

   Files in the `Documentation' directory have information on the
design of the Makefile system and how to write your own makefiles that
work with it.

History
=======

   The GNUstep makefile package was designed by Scott Christley
<scottc@net-community.com> and Ovidiu Predescu
<ovidiu@net-community.com>.

   Flags for building shared libraries and bundles on several systems
were originally identified by Mircea Oancea <mircea@pathcom.com>.

   Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk> also contributed
with ideas.
