Building:

To build everything including the pykolab stuff:
# autoreconf -v
# ./configure
# make

If you get "error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_INTLTOOL" on autoreconf you might need to install intltool.

For the python tests:
# make quicktest

Make sure you have "nosetests"  for python2 is installed (python2-nose on arch). Otherwise you will get an error that "PyInit__kolabformat" could not be found.

For the library only, switch to the c++ directory and read the instructions in there.

Branch layout:

  master
