Building
--------

Install the following build dependencies. If your distro segments development
files from core packages (i.e., \*-devel or \*-dev packages), you may need to
install those as well:

* gcc
* automake
* asciidoc
* gettext with development files
* ncurses with development files

If you are using a release tarball, the following commands can be used to build
and install calcurse:

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make install

Note that `make install` needs to be run as root. When working on a Git
checkout, you need to run `./autogen.sh` before `./configure`.

Package Overview
----------------

* `build-aux`: auxiliary files for the build process
* `contrib`: useful tools such as hooks or the CalDAV synchronization script
* `doc`: detailed documentation in plain text and HTML
* `po`: translations and i18n-related files
* `scripts`: additional official scripts, such as `calcurse-upgrade`
* `src`: the actual calcurse source files
* `test`: test suite and test cases for calcurse
