+lw-build-system Instructions
+========================================================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The build system is a set of shell scripts used to build various types
+of object file. Each project consists of one or more modules. Source
+files (committed to the repository) live in "src", with one subdirectory
+per module. Object files (or other volatile output) lives in "obj".
+Cleaning is simply a case of deleting the "obj" directory.
+
+Only a minimal part of the build system is committed to the repository
+for each project; enough to build the project if it is checked out or
+downloaded as a tarball. The rest of the build system (needed for
+actual development) is installed as symlinks, so that changes to the
+build system do not necessarily require changes to the repository.
+
+Creating a New Project
+----------------------
+
+Instantiating a new project is done with `lw-build-system/create.sh'.
+Simply pass the project name as the first argument. (It can be called
+with no arguments to display usage).
+
+The `~/.lwbuildrc' file, created on the first call of the project
+creation script, contains some variables which are used when 
+instantiating the empty project and module templates.
+
+The `config' file in the root of the project directory is where 
+user-editable variables live. Variables are generally only set here if
+they are not exported in the environment; this allows variables to be
+overridden in a wrapper script, with the defaults specified.
+
+This might be a good point to run `git-init-db', if you intend to use
+the git SCM system.
+
+Instantiating Modules
+---------------------
+
+(This can only be done if the development symlinks are installed).
+
+The `scripts/module-create.sh' script will allow the instantiation of
+new modules. Running it with no arguments will display usage; generally,
+it will take the module type, language, and name. The name is used
+directly as `src/${name}', and will also be the name of the output
+binary.
+
+As modules are instantiated, they add any required arguments (e.g.
+${CFLAGS} or ${BINDIR}) into the `config' file.
+
+The `src/${name}/build.*' files may be edited to alter build behaviour.
+This includes adding arguments to the C compiler. Variables set in 
+`config' are available when these scripts are run.
+
+There are a few conventions of note.
+
+Anything that wishes to link against external libraries will usually use
+two variables in `config' (libname_CFLAGS and libname_LIBS). If these
+are produced by running $(libname-config --cflags) and $(libname-config
+--libs), then lines suitable for `config' can be produced by running
+`scripts/config-printflags.sh libname'.
+
+An application module has an EXTRAS variable in its build.app into which
+the libname flags are placed (in addition to any others). A library
+module will need to export dependency information; this is done by
+changing the module_DEP_CFLAGS and module_DEP_LIBS flags in `build.lib'.
+The dependency information will be placed into the lib-config executable
+installed along with the library.
+
+Sometimes, it is useful to have compile-time options. Conventionally,
+these will be placed into the `config' file, and will often have a name
+such as CONFIG_DISABLE_FOO.
+
+Building
+--------
+
+Individual modules can be built with `./make.sh ${name}'. They can also
+be built by category; see `src/${name}/build.*'. The part of the
+filename after `build.' can also be passed to `./make.sh'. This allows,
+for example, all applications to be built (`./make.sh app'); or only
+libraries to be installed (`./make.sh install-lib').
+
+Setting the environment variable VERBOSE to 1 before running make.sh
+will display some additional tracing output.
+
+Versioning and Tagging
+----------------------
+
+The `version' file in the top level of the project directory contains
+the overall package version. This information is exported to C
+applications and libraries via the preprocessor as VERSION and
+VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}.
+
+Library modules have a `soversion' file, entirely independent of the
+top-level version, which is used to create symlinks as well as set the
+soname of the library. The soname depends only on the major and minor
+version, meaning that the micro version number can be bumped without
+changing the soname.
+
+`scripts/version.sh' can be run to bump version numbers automatically.
+If the project is a git repository, it can also be used to create tags
+and push changes to a central repository.
+
+The version script takes a number of commands, and executes them in 
+order. The following commands may be used:
+
+  major, minor, micro
+    Bump the version number in the top-level `version'. Bumping the
+    minor version will clear the micro version; bumping the major
+    version will clear minor and micro.
+
+  libmajor, libminor, libmicro		(1 argument)
+    Bump the soversion number in a library's `soversion', with the same
+    semantics as major/minor/micro. The argument is the library module's
+    name.
+
+  tag					(git only)
+    If this is a git repository, creates a tag based on the contents of
+    `version'.
+
+  push					(git only)
+    If this is a git repository, does a `git push' as well as a
+    `git-push --tags'. This is a good way to ensure that any tags you
+    create are pushed to a central repository (this normally needs to be
+    done separately).
+
+Creating tarballs
+-----------------
+
+(This only works for git repositories).
+
+`scripts/release.sh' can be run to create a tarball of the project. It
+takes two arguments: the first is the version number (or git tag) of the
+version to release, and the second the output directory. This will
+create a source tarball, a documentation tarball if a doxygen module is
+detected, and will also attempt to sign the tarballs with gpg (although
+it is not a fatal error if this step fails).
+
+Upgrading build system
+----------------------
+
+Sometimes, the nonvolatile parts of the build system (the static parts
+that are committed to the repository) need to be upgraded as well. There
+is a script to do this in the lw-build-system repository.
+
+From the project base directory, run the script 
+`/path/to/lw-build-system/update.sh'. This only works if symlinks are
+installed. It will create a patch file, which you should edit before
+applying.
+
+Unfortunately, the upgrade process is not perfect and will not detect
+legitimate changes you have made to files such as `config' and modules'
+`build.*' files. You will need to manually edit the patch to revert
+false positives.
