+If you are checking out the CVS sources using cvs under Mac OS X and
+compiling under Classic Mac OS:
+
+- make sure that all text files have a Mac OS type of 'TEXT' otherwise
+  CodeWarrior may ignore them. Checking out the CVS sources using cvs
+  under Mac OS X creates untyped files which can lead to compilation
+  errors under CodeWarrior which are hard to track down.

+V) MacOS X using configure and the Developer Tools
+----------------------------------------
+
+You need to have the Developer Tools installed. If this is not the case,
+you will need to register at the Apple Developer web site (this is a free
+registration) in order to download the Developer Tools installer.
+
+In order to create configure, you need to have the

+on your system and type run "autoconf" in the base
+directory (or run the autogen.sh script in the same
