    Configuration of the different Modules
    ======================================

    The following files in the "config" directory are used for the configuration
    of the DCMTK modules:

    confmod.in      definition of configuration tests for modules
    confmod         creates "configure" for modules
    general.m4      general configuration tests (see "config.txt")
    Makefile.def    general default Makefile definitions for all modules, generated
                    by "configure"
    templates/configure.mod
                    "configure" for the modules' directories, must be copied to the
                    main module directory (see "dirstruc.txt")
    include/dcmtk/config/osconfig.h
                    definition that must be included into the modules' source
                    files, generated by "configure"

    "confmod" must be copied to the module's main directory and renamed to
    "configure".

    Modules configure
    =================

    This configure script runs the modules' and the main configure script in the
    "config" directory (using special options):

    Syntax:
            configure [-a|-c] <configure-options>

    Purpose:
            Without options, this script calls "confmod" in the "config" directory
            to create the configuration for the Makefiles in the module.
            Using -a mean that first the "configure" in the "config" directory is
            called and then "confmod".  With -c only the "configure" in the
            "config" directory is started.  The "configure" options are passed to
            the called scripts.
            To determine the "config" directory the script searches from the local
            directory to the root to find a directory named "config".  The output
            of the "confmod" script (*.cache, *.status, *.log) is stored in the
            module's directory.  It is not possible to call "confmod" from the
            "config" directory.

    "confmod.in" stores the configurations that must be used in the modules and not
    in the "config" directory.  This is mainly used to define variables that
    specify the "config" directory and the default Makefile template.

    Modules Makefiles
    =================

    All Makefiles in the modules' directories must include the following lines:

    @SET_MAKE@

    SHELL = /bin/sh
    VPATH = @srcdir@:@top_srcdir@/include:@top_srcdir@/@configdir@/include
    srcdir = @srcdir@
    top_srcdir = @top_srcdir@
    configdir = @top_srcdir@/@configdir@

    include $(configdir)/@common_makefile@

    See the Makefile.* in the config/templates directory.
