   8 For interested developers, we have a public repository. To check out and compile
   9 the code, you need the following tools:
  10
  11     - Git
  12     - a recent GNU C compiler (>= 3.x)
  13     - automake
  14     - autoconf
  15     - libtool
  16     - gettext
  17     - perl
  18     - lex/flex
  19     - yacc/bison
  20     - gperf
  21     - check
  22     - optionally Doxygen
  23
  24 To check out the master branch, use:
  25
  26    git clone git://git.strongswan.org/strongswan.git
  27
  28      or using HTTP
  29
  30    git clone http://git.strongswan.org/strongswan.git
  31
  32 After a successful check out, give the autotools a try:
  33
  34     cd strongswan/
  35     ./autogen.sh
  36
  37 Then you're in, start the build as usual:
  38
  39     ./configure [options]
  40     make
  41     make install

  44 API documentation
  45 -----------------
  46
  47 Charon and libstrongswan contain inline code documentation. These comments can
  48 be extracted using doxygen. It is built using 'make apidoc', which creates an
  49 'apidoc' folder containing the HTML files.
