Re: [help-GIFT] some questions

[zhigao pu]

Hi Henning and all,

      I just built the major portion of gift-0.1.14 under Fedora 12 after many modifications in some of the source codes, though they are all minor compiling issues.  I wonder whether this gift-0.1.14 is the best version we can get.

     I by now have not been able to know whether the gift built by me works or not.  But I can not find a detailed documentation in the GIFT web site. Why is it so?  I also can not built the doc portion of gift, and got the following errors. 

    Can you please tell me where I can find detailed documentation for using GIFT, and also the PHP interface for integration PHP with GIFT?  This is important for me.

    Thank you very much.
