o Overview
YAZ++ builds a programmers' library libyaz++.lib and a few
example applications:

Description in HTML format of object model can be found in the sub
directory doc. The top-page of the documentaion is index.html. The
-- src (C++ source)
-- include (C++ headers)
-- doc (documentation)
- -- unix (UNIX configure script and Makefile)
-- win (Windows build files)
o Installation, Unix
Make sure you have a C - and C++ compiler available. gcc and
g++ works fine.
-Before compilation can take place YAZ must be installed. Unpack
-yaz-<version>.tar.gz in the same directory as yaz++. First
-build YAZ:
+Before compilation can take place YAZ must be installed. It goes, roughly,
+like this:
$ cd yaz-<version>
$ ./configure
$ make
+ $ cd ..
Then, build YAZ++:
$ cd yaz++-<version>
- $ cd unix
$ ./configure
$ make
