1tpl: fast, easy serialization in C
2==============================================================================
3
4Documentation for tpl is available in the doc/ directory or at:

6    http://troydhanson.github.com/tpl
7
8You can build tpl as a library, like so:
9
10    ./configure
11    make
12    make install
13
14This installs libtpl.so and libtpl.a into a standard system library directory.
15You can customize the install directory using configure's "--prefix" option:
16
17    ./configure --prefix=/some/directory
18
19For other options accepted by configure, run "./configure --help".

21NON-LIBRARY OPTION
22------------------
23Alternatively, if you don't want to muck around with libraries, you can simply
24copy these two files into your own C project and build them with your program:
25
26    src/tpl.h
27    src/tpl.c
28
29WINDOWS
30-------
31You can build tpl as a DLL under Visual Studio 2008. Or you can use MinGW or
32Cygwin.
33
34SELF-TEST SUITE
35---------------
36The automated self-test can be run by doing:
37
38    cd tests
39    make

41LICENSE

45CREDITS
46-------
47Many people have contributed to tpl, both bits of code and ideas. Rather than
48listing them all here, at risk of omitting anyone- I just wish to say thank
49you. Some particular features are noted with contributors' names in the
50ChangeLog.
