Welcome to the IPP Software Tree.  To build the full IPP suite, you
must be in the directory ipp/psconfig.  Follow the instructions in
'ipp/psconfig/INSTALL'.

The directory 'ipp/psconfig' contains tools for building the IPP, for
testing the build environment, for building external C libraries and
Perl modules, for setting up the user's environment, and for building
a tarball to be distributed to the end users.

Developer Build vs User Build

Within the IPP code base, there are a few modules which are not
distributed as part of the tarball.  These include 'glueforge', which
is used to generate code for interacting with the database;
'dbconfig', which defines a database layout; and 'ippdb.src', which is
the raw auto-generated code.  The tarball is instead packaged with a
version of ippdb for which autogen has been run, and for which there
is a valid 'configure' script.  As a developer, it is necessary to
build these packages.  There is a '-dev' option for psbuild which
builds these packages.
