For information on vddiff please visit the
project web page.

The source code is downloaded with

git clone https://github.com/n-t-roff/vddiff.git

and can be updated with

git pull

(latest changes are notified in the
change log).

It is suggested (but not required) to install
the speed optimized AVL library
libavlbst.
Further run time dependencies are:

• less for viewing text file contents
• vim for the file diff and merging operation
• Tools to decompress files and archives:
  tar, gzip, bzip2, xz and unzip

Some configuration can be done in
Makefile.in:

• Path PREFIX (default /usr/local) is prepended
  for each file to install and for searching the library libavlbst.
  If this library is used and is not installed in the PREFIX tree,
  INCDIR and LIBDIR need to be adjusted.
• The manpage is installed in ${MANDIR}/man1.
  Default for MANDIR is ${PREFIX}/share/man.
  On some systems this might better be changed to ${PREFIX}/man.

vddiff is build and installed with

$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# make install
# exit
$ make distclean
