BOIL was developed under Linux without much attention for porting-issues.
You need a c++ Compiler (the Makefile calls g++) to compile it.

By default, BOIL is compiled without postgres, msql or mysql support.
If you want to have database support, uncomment and adjust:

 INC_PG,LINK_PG and CXX_PG for postgres

 INC_MSQL,LINK_MSQL and CXX_MSQL for msql 

 INC_MYSQL,LINK_MYSQL and CXX_MYSQL for mysql

If you don't want to have RPC-support (distributed programming), make
CXX_RPC and RPCOBJ empty.

FREEBSD USERS: uncomment LINK_FREEBSD

Type 'make' and hope the best. If you get problems with rpc_clnt.cc,rpc_svc.cc,
rpc_svc_fork.cc,rpc_xdr.cc or rpc.h, type make_rpc to regenerate these files
(you need an actual version of rpcgen and sed). If you get problems with
boil.tab.cc or boil.tab.h, type make_bison to regenerate these files
(you need an actual version of bison and sed). If all is done, install 'boiler'
in /usr/bin. Documentation can be found in README.German and README.English.

If you think you can make something more portable, mail to
boilports@netestate.de. If you found a bug, mail to boilbugs@netestate.de.
For a note to the author, mail to boilnotes@netestate.de. If you have
questions about BOIL or want to discuss something, subscribe to the boil-users
list at majordomo@pinot.netestate.de (bilingual).
