-: README.build -- notes on the build process
-
-The "Makefile" in this directory uses BSD make(1) syntax. If you are
-trying to build this library on a platform that does not have a
-pre-built BSD compatible make(1), then you could try porting NetBSD's
-make(1). NetBSD's make(1) is available at:

-
-: Supporting cross builds
-
-In the general case, libelf may be built for a target operating system
-and machine architecture that is different from the host operating
-system and machine architecture that the compilation is happening on.
-For example, compilation could be running on a Linux/i386 host, with
-target binaries being created for a NetBSD/sparc64 system.
-
-To support cross building:
-- The top-level "Makefile" pulls in the appropriate make rules for the
- target system.
-
- Inside of makefiles, we determine the target OS by looking at the
- contents of the ${unix} make variable. The top-level makefile then
- includes any target specific makefiles if they exist.
-
-- Operating systems differ in the names and locations of the headers
- where their ELF types are defined. They also differ in the set of
- ELF types supported.
-
- Instead of relying on the host operating system to provide ELF related
- types and symbols, we define these in header <common/elfdefinitions.h>.
-
-- The file "_libelf_config.h" defines the 'native' architecture, byte order
- and word size for libelf.
-
-: OS Specific Configuration :
-
-:: Debian ::
-
-The following packages are needed for the build:
-- `build-essential'
-- `m4'
-- `freebsd-buildutils' or `freebsd5-buildutils'
-
-You would need to use `freebsd-make' instead of GNU make to build
-the tools. You would also need to place /usr/lib/freebsd in the
-shell's `PATH', preferably at the beginning.
-
-:: FreeBSD ::
-
-libelf should build out of the box on FreeBSD versions later than 6.0.
-
-:: NetBSD ::
-
-libelf should build out of the box on NetBSD versions later than 4.0.
-
-:: Ubuntu ::
-
-See the section on 'Debian' above.

-: Porting resources on the 'net
-
-The 'predef' project [http://predef.sourceforge.net/] has a
-comprehensive list of CPP macros predefined by various OSes.
