Introduction
BuildIT! is a graphical user interface creator for the java version 1.1 components set. It allows for the graphical creation and placement of widgets onto a dialog. You can also set various properties for all components. Widgets may be mapped to variables so that you can control them once the applet or Your java application is launched. After the dialog is created on the screen, the java source file for the project can be created.

BuildIT! GUI creator needs Qt library version 1.32 or higher. You can get it from:
Troll Tech

BuildIT! is currently supported on :
Linux (Slackware, RedHat ,Debian), Solaris (2.5 , 2.6).

You may need to be root, depending on the permissions of the 
directories you choose to install BuildIT! in.

1.  Unpack the archive, unless you already have:

	cd /usr/local 
	gunzip build-0.01.tar.gz	# uncompress the archive
	tar xf build-0.01.tar		# unpack it

    This creates the directory /usr/local/build containing the
    files from the main archive.

2.  Edit config.h depending on Your operation system ,and place where 
    QT-1.32 is installed.

    If your OS is Solaris use gnu make or edit Makfiles

    Type:

	make

    If something goes wrong check out Your settings in config.h. 
    If everything is ok
	
    Type:

	make install

    If installation finished succesfully You'll see on Your screen

        buildIT! installation complete 
        set BIT_HOME environment variable to (some path here)

    Now set BIT_HOME environment variable in .profile or .login, depending
    on your shell.

    In .profile (in case your shell if bash, ksh, zsh or sh):

	BIT_HOME=path shown at the end of make install
        export BIT_HOME

    In .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh):

	if ( ! $?BIT_HOME ) then
	    setenv BIT_HOME path shown at the end of make install
	endif	

    Now type:
