# How to get started developing

## Auto files

After checking out the source, run the following:

autoreconf -f -i
make distclean # this can fail if you have not built before
./configure --disable-silent-rules
make -j4
make -C tests check

If you see errors, make sure you have the latest libtool and autoconf
This has been tested with autoconf-2.69 and libtool-2.4.2

If your platform doesn't have the above tools, install the following
packages first.

### Debian

apt-get install \
automake \
gcc \
libtool \
make \

See also `.travis.yml`.

### Mac OS X (MacPorts)

Tested with:
