Add a LICENSE file so people can find our license easily For what it's worth, we are aware that "Copyright $YEAR $NAME" is sufficient notice of copyright on software under US law and Internationally, and saying Copyright (c) $YEAR $NAME is a bit nutty. The character sequence (c) has never been ruled to have the same force in US law as the actual copyright symbol, and that neither of these US-specific symbols adds anything of value beyond saying "Copyright" since the Berne convention took effect in the US back in 1989. Similarly, saying "all rights reserved" doesn't do anything magical unless your software goes in a time-warp back to when the Buenos Aires Convention was the general rule. (And what will they run it on back then?) And what would even lead you to say "All Rights Reserved" when you're explicitly granting most of those rights to anybody receiving the work in accordance with the 3-clause BSD license? But still the FOSS community retains these ritual notations out of a kind of cargo-cult lawyering. Who knows? Perhaps one day, if we write our copyright notices ineptly enough, John Frum will come and give us a DFSG-compatible license that everybody can get behind. (Also, I am not a lawyer. The above should not be taken as legal advice. -- Nick)

0. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (Briefly) $ ./configure $ make $ make verify # (optional) $ sudo make install 1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth) To build libevent, type $ ./configure && make (If you got libevent from the git repository, you will first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to generate the configure script.) Install as root via # make install You can run the regression tests by running $ make verify Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests. To enable the low-level tracing build the library as: CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...] Standard configure flags should work. In particular, see: --disable-shared Only build static libraries --prefix Install all files relative to this directory. The configure script also supports the following flags: --enable-gcc-warnings Enable extra compiler checking with GCC. --disable-malloc-replacement Don't let applications replace our memory management functions --disable-openssl Disable support for OpenSSL encryption. --disable-thread-support Don't support multithreaded environments. 2. USEFUL LINKS: For the latest released version of Libevent, see the official website at http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ . There's a pretty good work-in-progress manual up at http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/ . For the latest development versions of Libevent, access our Git repository via "git clone git://levent.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/levent/libevent" You can browse the git repository online at http://levent.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi . To report bugs, request features, or submit patches to Libevent, use the Sourceforge trackers at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=50884 . There's also a libevent-users mailing list for talking about Libevent use and development: http://archives.seul.org/libevent/users/ 3.
