See http://code.google.com/p/xbps for information. To build this you'll need: - pkg-config - zlib (development package with static libs) - openssl (development package with static libs) - libarchive >= 2.8.0 (development package with static libs) Optionally to build the API documentation: - graphviz and doxygen. Just run ./configure && make && make install. By default PREFIX is set to `/usr/local', can be changed by setting --prefix. The DESTDIR variable is also supported for package managers. There are some more options that can be tweaked, see them with `./configure --help'. Good luck!
