+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+To just build the library, the dependencies are quite minimal. You
+only need the following:
+
+- An ISO C compiler.
+
+- Perl tools 'pod2man' and 'pod2text'.
+
+These dependencies are needed for the tools:
+
+- Readline library (optional, to add command-line editing to hivexsh).
+
+- libxml2 (optional, for hivexml).
+
+If you want to make the generated files or change the API, then you
+will need the OCaml interpreter (/usr/bin/ocaml).
+
+To build the language bindings, you will need various extra packages.
+See the configure output for more details.
+
+Directories and tools
+---------------------
+
+generator/
+
+ Generator used to write a lot of boilerplate code for
+ header files, documentation, language bindings etc.
+ The API for hivex is specified in the generator.
+
+images/
+
+ Test hive files. See images/README.
+
+lib/
+
+ The C library.
+
+ocaml/
+
+ OCaml bindings and tests. The bindings are generated by
+ 'generator/generator.ml'.
+
+perl/
+
+ Perl bindings and tests. The bindings are generated by
+ 'generator/generator.ml'.
+
+python/
+
+ NOTE: Python bindings are not yet written. Your patches
+ are welcome (please modify generator/generator.ml to
+ add them).
+
+regedit/
+ Regedit-like registry merging tool.
+
+sh/
+
+ Interactive shell. This also contains the old 'hivexget'
+ tool (originally written in C, now replaced by a hivexsh
+ shell script).
+
+xml/
+
+ hivexml program which converts hive files to XML.
