1. Introduction
---------------

UAP Common eXtensions provide useful data structures and algorithms for common
programmatic tasks in C language. By design the features are divided into
modules to minimize the library footprint. Using the build files you can create
a static and a shared lib containing all modules, but you might also want use
the UCX sources in your project and compile specific modules to further minimize
the footprint. Feel free to do so.


2. Build
--------

Untar the source archive and run

  make CONF=<yourconfig>

If you are going to use gcc, then simply run

  make

The available configurations are clang, gcc, mingw, osx and suncc. 

The build files are placed into a build subdirectory, which is created if it
does not exists.

The default target builds optimized binaries. Use the debug target by running

  make debug CONF=<yourconfig>

to disable optimization and enable debug symbols.

If you want to test your build either run

  make run CONF=<yourconfig>

or

  make run-debug CONF=<yourconfig>

Again, you can omit the CONF parameter, when using the gcc.

3. Install
----------

Build the binaries as described in chapter two. Then install UCX, by running

  make install

or

  make install PREFIX=<install_dir>

The default prefix is /usr/local.

4. Documentation
----------------

The code uses doxygen source code documentation. A html version of the
documentation is also available here:
