[aspectc-user] Bootstrapping question

[Olaf Spinczyk]

Hi,

it is much easier to use the "woven" source tarball, which can be 
compiled without the ac++ binary.

* unpack the woven sources
* enter the Puma directory and 'make compile'
* then go to Ag++ and AspectC++ and run 'make'

That's all (at least if you work on a Linux machine). ;-)
