This is the README for the Akenti C/C++ binary distribution.

This tar file contains the results of building the Akenti C/C++ source
tree, plus a template of an example resource tree and the sources and
Makefile to create the unified akenti command line tool.  Here are the
steps to install Akenti from this binary distribution, to instantiate the
example resource tree and to build the akenti command-line tool:

1) Decide where you want to install Akenti, set and export an
AKENTI_HOME environment variable identifying that location.

2) Download the Akenti C/C++ 3rdparty distribution for your
architecture and unarchive it into $AKENTI_HOME (creating the
$AKENTI_HOME/3rdparty/ subdir).

3) Edit the ./c++/src/config script and set the environment variables
there to suit your system.

4) Configure Akenti and generate two Makefiles (from this dir)

  $ ./c++/src/config

5) Install Akenti (into AKENTI_HOME as set in step #1 above).

  $ make install-bin

This will populate $AKENTI_HOME with the Akenti libaries and binaries,
instantiate the example resoure tree under  $AKENTI_HOME/exampleResourceTree,
test the installation by running an accessChecks script against the
exampleResourceTree. 

6) the c++/src/tools directory includes the sources and Makefile as an 
example of how to use the Akenti libraries and how to build an Akenti 
application. If you wish you can cd to tools and type make to verify
that you can build against the libraries that you have just installed.
