To build Berkeley DB for a UNIX platform:

    cd build.unix
    ../dist/configure
    make

To build multiple UNIX versions of Berkeley DB in the same source tree,
create a new directory, then configure and build.

    mkdir build.bsdos3.0
    cd build.bsdos3.0
    ../dist/configure
    make

For additional information about building Berkeley DB for UNIX platforms,
the description of possible configuration options and other information
on DB configuration and build issues, see the file build.unix/README.

To build Berkeley DB for a WIN32 platform, see build.win32/README.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The C++ API files and directories in the source distribution are:

db/cxx/			C++ API
db/examples_cxx/	The example programs recoded in C++.
db/include/cxx_int.h	Internal C++ include file.
db/include/db_cxx.h	External C++ include file.

C++ support is automatically built on Win32.  To configure it under
UNIX, specify --enable-cxx as a configuration argument (see the file
db/build.unix/README for more information).

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The Java API files and directories in the source distribution are:

db/java/src/com/sleepycat/db
			The Java API
db/java/README		Information on building the Java API.
db/man/man.html/index_java.html
			The Java API manual pages (available only in HTML).
db/java/src/com/sleepycat/examples/
			The example programs recoded in Java.
db/libdb_java		Sources to build the libdb_java shared library.

Java support is NEVER automatically built.  To configure and build the
Java API, see the file db/java/README for more information.
