Hi Paul,

the autotools system should work on most platforms. The cvs version
may work better than 0.15. If you insist on building gnubg with cmake
you should look at the configure.in and Makefile.am in the main
directory and the Makefile.am in the lib/ directory. The resulting
config.h should also be of help.

I believe that the kde backgammon program interfaces with gnubg in
some way, so you may find guidance on that subject there. Also
remember that gnubg is released under the GPL license so if you do
anything beyond interfacing with it, your program should be GPL'ed as
well.

Christian.
