This is a library implementing the intermediate representation
FIRM developed at IPD Goos, Uni Karlsruhe.
-Call make lib to construct the library. This creates a file
-libfirm.a and extracts all necessary header files to ./include.
+Create an architecture dependent directory (eg 'mkdir i686-linux') an cd
+to it. Call ../configure with wanted features (see ../configure --help
+for more hints). Call 'make depend; make' to construct the library. This
+creates a file libfirm.a
To test the library goto ./testprograms and make and run the
test examples placed there:
-make lib
+make depend; make
cd testprograms
make
make run
+If you have set up the include and libdir using configure you can install
+the library and its headers by 'make install'. This is encouraged if the
+library is hooked up to any other modules, e.g., a front end. Only the
+external headers are guaranteed to remain stable, the implementation might
+change.

To generate FIRM code from a compiler frontend read the documentation
in ./include/ircons.h.
