+C++ support libraries
+
+Original GNU autconf stuff contributed by Braden N. McDaniel. Slightly
+hacked up by me (Ric Klaren ([email protected])) for who it's the first
+autoconf/automake/aclocal stuff ever, so suggestions additions welcome.
+
+HOW TO INSTALL
+
+In theory do:
+
+./configure --prefix=<basedirectory where you want it installed>
+make
+make install
+
+Now libantlr.a should reside under <basedir>/lib/libantlr.a and the
+includes should be at <basedir>/include/antlr.
+
+NOTE: this only installs the C++ library and header files.
+
+In the contrib directory a dsp/dsw project for Microsoft Visual C++ can be
+found.
+
+In general this library needs runtime typing information (RTTI) make sure
+you enable this in whatever compiler you are using.

+IT DOESN'T WORK!?
+
+Check out the faq: http://www.jguru.com/jguru/faq/view.jsp?EID=120
+
+The text of that entry (by Peter Wells):
+
+The ANTLR code uses some relatively new features of C++ which not all
+compilers support yet (such as namespaces, and new style standard headers).
+
+There is work currently in progress to provide a compatibility mode for
+ANTLR, to enable older compilers to handle this.
+
+At the moment, you may be able to work around the problem with a few nasty
+tricks:
+
+Try creating some header files like 'iostream' just containing:
+
+#include <iostream.h>
+
+and compile with an option to define away the word 'std', such as
+
+CC .... -Dstd= ....
+
+Also in the antlr subdirectory there's a file config.hpp. Tweak this one to
+enable/disable the different bells and whistles used in the rest of the code.
+Don't forget to submit those changes back to us (along with compiler info)
+so we can incorporate them in our next release!
+
+Thanks!
