1Welcome to serf, a high-performance asynchronous HTTP client library.
2
3The serf library is a C-based HTTP client library built upon the Apache
4Portable Runtime (APR) library. It multiplexes connections, running the
5read/write communication asynchronously. Memory copies and transformations are
6kept to a minimum to provide high performance operation.

26Building serf from a Subversion checkout (non-packaged releases)
27
28We suggest that you try out 'serfmake'.
29
30 % ./serfmake --prefix=/usr/local/serf --with-apr=/usr/local/apr install
31
32If you want to use the autoconf build system and are using a Subversion
33checkout, you need to run buildconf and have APR and APR-util sources handy.
34
35 % ./buildconf --with-apr=/path/to/apr --with-apr-util=/path/to/apr-util
36 (By default, buildconf will look in . and ../ for apr and apr-util.)
37
38Then, you can use ./configure, make, etc.
