+systems and on Windows. Building of the Toolkit on some platform may

<br /> <br />
The building instructions for all platforms are also included in the Toolkit

-Building the Toolkit on Unix will produce binaries of all libraries, and
-SILC Client and SILC Server. The Toolkit package includes also Client and
-Server as an example applications, and they are compiled automatically.
-The libraries are compiled to provide staticly linkable libraries. Two
-libraries are produced: libsilc.a and libsilcclient.a. The libsilc.a includes
-everything else except the Client library. The libsilcclient.a includes
-only the Client library.
+On Unix systems both statically and dynamically linkable libraries are
+built by default.
<br /> <br />
To build Toolkit on Unix systems, give commands:
this option when you are doing development with Toolkit. It is helpful
to enable run-time debugging.
-<br /> <br />
-<tt>--with-gmp[=DIR]</tt>
-
-<br /> <br />
-If you wish to use GMP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic
-library instead of using the MPI library included in the package, you can
-give the --with-gmp[=DIR] option to the `configure'. The DIR is the upper
-path in your system which contains lib/ and include/ for GMP library.
-
<br /> <br />
<tt>--with-iconv[=DIR]</tt>
However, if it fails, but you still want to compile in the IPv6 support
you can give --enable-ipv6 option to force the IPv6 support.
+<br /> <br />
+<tt>--disable-cpu-optimizations</tt>
+
+<br /> <br />
+By default the configure script will attempt to detect the type of your
+CPU and enable any features specific to your CPU that could optimize the
+performance of the Toolkit. If you are creating binary package that
+should work on any CPU (and not only your CPU) you should diable these
+optimizations. If you compile it for yourself only, keeping the
+optimizations enabled is recommended.

After compilation you can install the Toolkit into your system by giving
the command:
<br /> <br />
The Toolkit package includes ready MSVC++ Workspace files, that will
automatically compile the Toolkit. The MSVC++ workspace and project files
-resides in the win32/ subdirectory of the Toolkit package. The `silc.dsw'
+resides in the win32/ subdirectory of the Toolkit package. The `srt.dsw'
file is the workspace file that automatically supports compiling the Toolkit
-and to generate the SILC Core DLL and SILC Client DLL libraries.
-
-<br /> <br />
-The SILC Core DLL is named as libsilc and will generate libsilc.dll, and
-the SILC Client DLL is named as libsilcclient and will generate
-libsilcclient.dll. Both of the projects also automatically generates
-libsilc.lib and libsilcclient.lib import libraries that may be used to
-link against a client application.
-
-<br /> <br />
-Generally you do not need to do any specific settings to compile the
-Toolkit. However, you must compile the libsilc before compiling the
-libsilclient, since the SILC Client DLL depends on the SILC Core DLL.
-You may compile the DLLs as either Release or Debug version. Just select
-the preferred method of compilation. The Debug version will compile the
-SILC Toolkit with run-time debugging support, which is recommended when
-doing development with the Toolkit.

-If you do not want to compile the applications, or they do not compile on
-your system, you can also choose to compile only the libraries, and skip
-all applications. In this case, before giving the "make" command, go
-to the lib/ subdirectory, and give "make" command there:
