 3           The mof compiler is a long ways from done, but it does
 4           build and populate a repository.

 6           Build instructions
 7           
 8             cd Pegasus/getoopt
 9             make
10             cd ../Common
11             make
12             cd ../Repository
13             make
14             cd ../Compiler
15             make
16             cd cmdline
17             make
18           
19           It will be integrated in Mike's make system shortly.
20           It should build on NT with MSVC++ version 6 (I haven't tried version 5)
21           and on Linux with gcc 2.95.  On my machines, it successfully compiles

22 bob   1.2 CIM_Schema25.mof in about 50 seconds on NT and about 15 on Linux.

24           Partial list of to-do's:
25             - Add command line arguments to control over-laying of existing objects,
26               stopping the addition of new base classes and several other things.

27 bob   1.3   - Make the command line driver turn off logging in the embeddable
28               compiler code.  Right now, errors print out twice.

29 bob   1.2   - Handle a few  errors that are ignored now.

30 bob   1.1   - bunch of other cleanup
31           
32           Here are two gotcha's in trying to get things running:
33             1. Make sure you set the PEGASUS_HOME command line variable.
34                The repository gets written to $PEGASUS_HOME/repository.
35                You can override this with the -R flag on the command line.
36           
37             2. If your mof file has include pragmas and the included files
38                do not reside in the current directory, you must provide a path
39                to them on the compiler command line.  You do this with the 
40                -I flag.  Example:
41           
42                    cimmof -I~/testfiles ~/testfiles/main.mof
43           
44                The compiler does not handle missing include files very sanely
45                right now.  It just skips them.
