Autoconf 2.61 Slightly older might work too
Libtool 1.5.22 1.4 is no good

* On FreeBSD you'll need at least these packages:
- autotools
- bash
- flac
- mad
- boehm-gc
- db43
- gmake
- gsed
- libao
- libgcrypt
- wget
- vorbis-tools

Building:
- * Compiled versions of configure and the makefiles are not included in bzr,
+ * Compiled versions of configure and the makefiles are not included in git,
so if you didn't use a source tarball, you must start as follows:
- bash ./prepare
+ bash ./autogen.sh
./configure -C
make
* To support a new sound API:
1) Teach configure.ac how to detect any libraries required.
- 2) Define a new BACKEND_ value and update configuration.[ch] for it.
- 3) Create a suitable server/speaker-*.c along the pattern of the existing
- ones.
- 4) If possible create a suitable lib/mixer-*.c. This doesn't make sense
- for all APIs (e.g. network), but even for those it does, playback
- support without volume control support is likely to be acceptable (even
- if inferior to full support).
+ 2) Create lib/uaudio-<name>.c; see uaudio.h for the interface.
+ 3) Update the list in lib/uaudio-apis.c
+ 4) Add a new option to clients/playrtp.c and document it in
+ doc/disorder-playrtp.1.in (if appropriate).
5) Update doc/disorder_config.5.in.
- 6) If relevant, create a suitable clients/playrtp-*.c and update
- doc/disorder-playrtp.1.in.
* To support a new file format:
1) Teach configure.ac how to detect any libraries required.
* To add a new command:
1) Add a new c_ function and table entry in server/server.c
2) Document the new command in doc/disorder_protocol.5.in
- 3) Add a new function to lib/client.c
+ 3) Add a new function to scripts/protocol.
4) Add a new function to lib/eclient.c
5) Add a new function to python/disorder.py.in
6) Add a new command to clients/disorder.c and update doc/disorder.1.in
7) Add a new test somewhere in tests/*.py
- Depending on the purpose of the command it may be acceptable to leave out
- some of the client side work - for instance commands only ever used by the
- web interface are not implemented in lib/eclient.c.
* See disorder_protocol(5) for details of how the status code is
constructed, and the existing commands for examples.
Web Interface:
+ * The support targets are current Firefox, Chrome, IE and Safari. Obscure,
+ obsolete or text-only browsers are not of significant interest.
+
* The web interface does not use Javascript or Flash and I would like to
- keep it that way. Clever use of CSS is OK provided it works well on the
- mainstream browsers.

* Update templates/help.tmpl for any changes you make.

deal with long-running operations if you do need any.
- * Update doc/disobedience.1.in for any changes you make.
+ * Update the contents of disobedience/manual/ for any changes you make.
New Platforms:
structure initializers are used; the configure script asks for -std=gnu99
by default. Some supported platforms are still on GCC 4.0.
