Git repository
---------------------

For interested developers, we have a public repository. To check out and compile
the code, you need the following tools:

    - Git
    - a recent GNU C compiler (>= 3.x)
    - automake
    - autoconf
    - libtool
    - gettext
    - perl
    - lex/flex
    - yacc/bison
    - gperf
    - check
    - optionally Doxygen

To check out the master branch, use:

   git clone git://git.strongswan.org/strongswan.git

     or using HTTP

   git clone http://git.strongswan.org/strongswan.git

After a successful check out, give the autotools a try:

    cd strongswan/
    ./autogen.sh

Then you're in, start the build as usual:

    ./configure [options]
    make
    make install


API documentation
-----------------

Charon and libstrongswan contain inline code documentation. These comments can
be extracted using doxygen. It is built using 'make apidoc', which creates an
'apidoc' folder containing the HTML files.

strongSwan wiki

A wiki for users and developers, including ticket system and source browser
is available at
