Installing
==========
### Prerequisites
* pkg-config
* glib-2.0 (for the test suite; everything else will build without glib)
* make
### Optional Dependencies
* doxygen (for `make doc`)
* pkg-config (for `make test`)
* glib-2.0 (for `make test`)
* glib-2.0-dev (for `make test`)
To install, type `make`. To run the built-in test suite, type `make test`.
There is not currently a `make install` target; to make Hammer available system-wide, copy `libhammer.a` to `/usr/lib/` (or `/usr/local/lib/`, or wherever ld will find it) and `hammer.h` to `/usr/include/`.
