README

   1 THIS IS BOBOT++ VERSION 2.3 (this file is also -*- text -*-)
   2
   3 === REQUIREMENTS (Compile) ===
   4
   5 Guile Scheme (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) Version 1.8+ is used
   6 for scripting. It is optional and may be disabled by passing
   7 `--disable-scripting' to configure.
   8
   9 === BACKGROUND ===
  10
  11 This is the new stable. Upgrading from 2.0 is recommended, especially
  12 if you use the scripting interface.
  13
  14 === BIG CHANGES FROM 2.0 ===
  15
  16 The biggest change is that all bot-* functions are now
  17 bot:*. A simple 'perl -pi -e s/bot-/bot:/g SCRIPT1 SCRIPT2 .. SCRIPTN'
  18 should be enough to update your scripts. The bot-* functions are
  19 defined as aliases for the bot:* functions in bobot-utils.scm, which
  20 is autoloaded by bobot++.
  21
  22 The binary is now named bobotpp because of automake choking on ++ in
  23 rule names. In order for the bot to work properly, you must 'make
  24 install' it so that bobot-utils.scm is installed and can be loaded for
  25 scripts to use (unless you have Guile disabled).
  26
  27 === IMPORTANT NOTES ===
  28
  29 2.2 should compile on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. There are some
  30 compatibility hacks for HP/UX, but they may not works as I don't have
  31 access to an HP/UX machine. I'm not sure if it builds on other
  32 systems, if it does please email me. If it doesn't, please email so I
  33 can fix it.
  34
  35 === DOCUMENTATION ===
  36
  37 There is a texinfo manual. It should be complete. "info bobot++" to
  38 read it. It has sections on configuring, running, and scripting the
  39 bot. Suggestions are welcome.
  40
  41 bobotpp --help is also helpful.
