+1  Prerequisites
+
+i) Subversion development files, i.e., header files and program
+   libraries, version 1.4 or later.
+
+ii) Gnuplot.
+
+iii) A standard C++ compliant compiler with one extension: svnstat
+   must be compiled with a C++ compiler that supports 'long long'
+   types - GCC does this. This is due to the fact that one of the
+   underlying libraries, apr, is using 'long long'. apr is written in
+   C and the C standard allows 'long long'.
+
+   Even though the source is compiled with the -pedantic flag (which
+   should catch the non C++ standard 'long long') there is another
+   flag to suppress 'long long' diagnostics, -Wno-long-long.
+
+
+2  Compilation and installation
+
+See INSTALL for instructions on how to compile and install svnstat.

 svnstat uses a C++ interface to Gnuplot inspired by Rajarshi Guha.
