      1 Unix ACPICA makefiles
      2 ---------------------
      3 
      4 These makefiles are intended for generating the ACPICA utilities in
      5 a Unix-like environment, with the original ACPICA code (not linuxized),
      6 and in the original (git tree) ACPICA directory structure.
      7 
      8 The top level makefile will generate the following utilities:
      9 
     10 acpiexec
     11 acpinames
     12 acpisrc
     13 acpixtract
     14 iasl
     15 
     16 
     17 Requirements
     18 ------------
     19 
     20 make
     21 gcc compiler (3+ or 4+)
     22 bison
     23 flex
     24 
     25 
     26 Configuration
     27 -------------
     28 
     29 The Makefile.config file contains the configuration information:
     30 
     31 HOST =       _CYGWIN            /* Host system, must appear in acenv.h */
     32 CC =         gcc-4              /* C compiler */
     33 ACPICA_SRC = ../../../source    /* Location of acpica source tree */
     34 
     35 
     36 Intermediate Files
     37 ------------------
     38 
     39 The intermediate files for each utility (.o, etc.) are placed in the
     40 subdirectory corresponding to each utility, not in the source code 
     41 tree itself. This prevents collisions when different utilities compile
     42 the same source modules with different options.
     43 
     44 
     45 Output
     46 ------
     47 
     48 The executable utilities are copied to the local bin directory.
     49 
     50 "make install" will install the binaries to /usr/bin
