Build requirements (INCOMPLETE AND BETA)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On OS4, MOS and AROS it builds directly with the dependencies mentioned under "Requires:".
On OS3 the easiest way is to download ADE_NDK_MUI.lha + expat-dev from Aminet.

Or you can do it the hard way:

Annotate builds for OS3/68k with gcc 2.95.3 or 3.4.0, but I found 2.95.3 too buggy.

These are instructions for installing a complete build environment based on ADE.
I include the versions I used, but other versions are probably OK too, both older and newer.

From Aminet, download:
* dev/gcc/ADE.lha (v2.95.3)
* dev/c/expat-dev.lha (v1.2)
* dev/c/SDI_headers.lha (v1.7)
* driver/input/NewMouse12.lha (v1.2)
* dev/mui/mui38dev.lha (v3.8)
* dev/mui/MCC_NList-0.127.lha (v0.127)
* dev/mui/MCC_TextEditor-15.55.lha (v15.55)

Since Ann is a potential v3.5+ program you also need the NDK3.9 from:
* https://www.haage-partner.de/download/AmigaOS/NDK39.lha

ADE:
1. Install ADE and assign ADE: to your install directory.
2. Run ADE-Startup. It complains about some stuff but seems to work anyway.
3. Increase stack size to 1MB (stack 1500000). You should add this to ADE-Startup.
4. Copy ADE:bin/ar to ADE:bin/m68k-amigaos-ar.

3rd party libs:
5. From expat-dev.lha: Copy the files and dirs under include/ to ADE:include/ (or os-include if you prefer).
6. From SDI_headers.lha: Copy the files under includes/ to ADE:include/ (or os-include...)
7. From NewMouse12.lha: Copy newmouse.h to ADE:include/.
8. From mui38dev.lha: Copy the files and dirs under Developer/C/Include/ to ADE:include/.
9. From MCC_NList-0.127.lha: Copy dir with files from Developer/C/include/ to ADE:include/.
10. From MCC_TextEditor-15.55.lha: Copy dir with file from Developer/C/include/ to ADE:include/.

Copy the Include/include_h/ dirs and files over ADE:os-include/
 or,
Copy only these files from Include/include_h/:
* workbench/workbench.h
* datatypes/datatypesclass.h
* datatypes/pictureclass.h
* exec/types.h

How to build
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Type 'make -f Makefile.os' during development. The executable 'ann' is created.
Type 'make -f Makefile.os final' to make an optimized and stripped release
version. The executable 'Ann_OS_GUI' is created.

I've included the changelog I have written during my work on updating
Annotate. It's quite raw and a snapshot of current development when
I made this release. It's much more detailed than the News & Changes
section in the main archive.
