Building
--------
-Just type 'make' and 'make install'. If on BSD, for now you have to
-specify the BSD Makefile with -f and use gmake (not make), eg:
+Just type 'make' and 'make install'.
-$ gmake -f Makefile.FreeBSD && gmake -f Makefile.FreeBSD install
-
-Same goes for AIX:
-
-$ gmake -f Makefile.aix && gmake -f Makefile.aix install
-
-Likewise with OpenSolaris, use the Makefile.solaris to compile there.
-The OpenSolaris make should work fine. This might change in the
-future if I opt for an autoconf type setup.
+Note that GNU make is required. On BSD it's available from devel/gmake;
+on Solaris it's in the SUNWgmake package. On platforms where GNU make
+isn't the default, type 'gmake' instead of 'make'.
If your compile fails with an error like this:
On Windows Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) is required with at least
devel/gcc4 and devel/make installed in order to build fio, and
admin/cygrunsrv to run it. You can also install devel/git to fetch/update
-the source files. To create an MSI installer package, install WiX 3.6 from
-http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/ and run dobuild.cmd from the
-os/windows directory.

Before running fio you'll need to have a copy of cygserver running. Run
"/usr/bin/cygserver-config" from an elevated Cygwin shell (i.e. launch the
