===============================================================================
				  QUICK START
===============================================================================

1) Install OCaml if not already installed.

2a) On Linux-like distribution:
  ./configure &amp;&amp; make &amp;&amp; sudo make install

2b) On Windows+Cygwin:
  ./configure --prefix C:/windows/path/with/direct/slash &amp;&amp; make &amp;&amp; make install

3) The binary frama-c (and frama-c-gui if you have lablgtk2) is now installed.

4) Optionally, test your installation by running:
   frama-c -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c
   frama-c-gui -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c (if frama-c-gui is available)

See below for more detailed and specific instructions.

===============================================================================
				  REQUIREMENTS
===============================================================================

- GNU make version 3.81
- Objective Caml 3.10.2;
  OCaml 3.11 is required for native compilation of dynamic plugins.
- Gtk (>= 2.4) and GtkSourceView 1.x
- lablgtk >= 2.12.0

If OcamlGraph >= 1.3 is already installed, then it will be used by Frama-C.
Otherwise the distributed local copy (directory ocamlgraph) will be used.

Plug-ins may have their own requirements.
Consult their specific documentations for details.

===============================================================================
				 CONFIGURATION
===============================================================================

Frama-C is configured by "./configure [options]"

configure is generated by autoconf, so that the standard options for setting
installation directories are available, in particular '--prefix=/path'.

A plugin can be enabled by --enable-plugin and disabled by --disable-plugin.
By default, all distributed plugins are enabled. Those who defaults to 'no' 
are not part of the Frama-C distribution (usually because they are too 
experimental to be released as is).

See ./configure --help for the current list of plugins. 

Under Cygwin:
-------------
Use "./configure --prefix C:/windows/path/with/direct/slash".

===============================================================================
				  COMPILATION
===============================================================================

Just execute "make".

Makefile targets that can be interesting are:
- doc	   generates the API documentation
- ptests   generates the executable that takes care of running Frama-C's tests
- oracles  set up the tests oracle of Frama-C test suite for your own
           configuration.
- tests    performs Frama-C's own tests (use it after oracles)

===============================================================================
				  INSTALLATION
===============================================================================

Just execute "make install" 
(depending on the installation directory, may require superuser privileges).

It is possible to perform the installation in a given directory by setting
the DESTDIR variable: "make install DESTDIR=/tmp" installs Frama-C in
sub-directories of /tmp.

The following files are installed.

Executables: (usually in /usr/local/bin)
------------
- frama-c
- frama-c-gui	    if available
- frama-c.byte      bytecode version of frama-c
- frama-c-gui.byte  bytecode version of frama-c-gui, if available
- ptests.byte       testing tools for Frama-c

Shared files: (usually in /usr/local/share/frama-c)
-------------
- some .h and .c files used as preludes by Frama-C;
- some Makefiles used to compile dynamic plug-ins
- some .rc files used to configure Frama-C

Manuals: (usually in /usr/local/share/frama-c/manuals)
--------
- the Frama-C manuals as .pdf files 

Object files: (usually in /usr/local/lib/frama-c)
-------------
- object files used to compile dynamic plug-ins

Plug-in files: (usually in /usr/local/lib/frama-c/plugins)
--------------
- object files of available dynamic plug-ins

Man files: (usually in /usr/local/man/man1)
----------
- man files for frama-c (and frama-c-gui if available)

===============================================================================
			      CUSTOM INSTALLATION
===============================================================================

You can manually move any installed files. However, in such a case, you have to 
set specific environment variables in order that Frama-C found the appropriate 
objects when required.

The environment variables are:
------------------------------
FRAMAC_SHARE: absolute path to the Frama-C share subdirectory
FRAMAC_LIB: absolute path of the Frama-C lib subdirectory
FRAMAC_PLUGIN: absolute path of the Frama-C plug-in directory.

===============================================================================
			    TESTING THE INSTALLATION
===============================================================================

This step is optional.

Test your installation by running:
  frama-c -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c
  frama-c-gui -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c (if frama-c-gui is available)

===============================================================================
		      INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL PLUG-INS
===============================================================================

Plug-ins may be released independently of Frama-C.

The standard way for installing them should be:
  make &amp;&amp; sudo make install

Plug-ins may have their own custom installation procedures.
Consult their specific documentations for details.

===============================================================================
		               API DOCUMENTATION
===============================================================================

For plug-in developers, the API documentation of the Frama-C kernel and 
distributed plug-ins is available in the file frama-c-api.tar.gz.

===============================================================================
				 UNINSTALLATION
===============================================================================

Just execute "make uninstall" to remove Frama-C and all the installed plug-ins.
That works only if you have not manually moved the installed files (see Section 
"Custom Installation").

===============================================================================
			     HAVE FUN WITH FRAMA-C!
