--- PREFACE --------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BuDDy was originally developed by Jorn Lind-Nielsen as a part of his
Phd thesis.
After using BuDDy as a BDD library for long time ( while getting some
support from Jorn through Email ), I have been suggested by Jorn to take
ownership of the project and move it to SourceForge.
I invite all users who are interested to participate in the development
to contact me. ( I always have desired tasks / features awaiting... )
I hope that BuDDy will prosper under my management.

--- REQUIREMENTS ----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* A (not too old) C++ compiler. I use g++ 3.3.3
* A machine that supports 32 bit integers
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- INSTALLING ------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following commands should build and install the library.
./configure
make
make install
`./configure' accepts many arguments to tune your installation.
The following options are noteworthy:
--includedir=/somewhere/include
Specify where header files will be installed.
--libdir=/somewhere/lib
Specify where libraries will be installed.
--disable-shared
Do not build the shared library for BuDDy.
--disable-static
Do not build the static library for BuDDy.
--enable-swap-count
Count number of fundamental variable swaps (for debugging)
--enable-cache-stats
Gather statistical information about operator and unique node
caching (for debugging)
Run `./configure --help' for a complete listing, and see
the INSTALL file for generic intrustions.
Run `make check' to build the examples.

--- USING -----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Assuming that the files "bdd.h" and "libbdd.a" are in directories
"/usr/local/include" and "/usr/local/lib" then the compile command
could be:
g++ -I/usr/local/include myfile.cc -o myfile -L/usr/local/lib -lbdd
Your machine may be setup to use the above directories automatically,
so you might be able to do:
g++ myfile.cc -o myfile -lbdd
