Some temporary build instructions. This is work in progress. The tinyxml and pcre libraries are needed. The tinyxml is not really needed, these files could be integrated into the CLI instead. Windows Visual Studio To build pcre I downloaded the sourcecode from www.pcre.org. I downloaded cmake 2.8. Then I built the lib with: cmake . nmake To build tinyxml I just built all the files in externals/tinyxml MINGW (Qt 4.7 SDK) I downloaded pcre-8.0-lib.zip from here: http://software-download.name/pcre-library-windows/ I build libtinyxml.a with: cd externals/tinyxml qmake jom Linux The normal Makefile should work Install pcre on ubuntu might be needed: sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev
