+    <title>How to make apps using YAZ on UNIX</title>
+    <para>
+     This section describes how to compile - and link your own
+     applications using the &yaz; toolkit.
+     If you're used to Makefiles this shouldn't be hard. As for
+     other libraries you have used before, you have to set a proper include
+     path for your C/C++ compiler and specify the location of
+     &yaz; libraries. You can do it by hand, but generally we suggest
+     you use the <filename>yaz-config</filename> that is generated
+     by <filename>configure</filename>. This is especially
+     important if you're using the threaded version of &yaz; which
+     require you to pass more options to your linker/compiler.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+     The <filename>yaz-config</filename> script accepts command line
+     options that makes the <filename>yaz-config</filename> script print
+     options that you should use in your make process.
+     The most important ones are:
+     <literal>--cflags</literal>, <literal>--libs</literal>
+     which prints C compiler flags, and linker flags respectively.
+     </para>
+    <para>
+     A small and complete <literal>Makefile</literal> for a C
+     application consisting of one source file,
+     <filename>myprog.c</filename>, may look like this:
+     <screen>
+      YAZCONFIG=/usr/local/bin/yaz-config
+      CFLAGS=`$(YAZCONFIG) --cflags`
+      LIBS=`$(YAZCONFIG) --libs`
+      myprog: myprog.o
+         $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o myprog myprog.o $(LIBS)
+      </screen>
+     </para>
+    <para>
+     The CFLAGS variable consists of a C compiler directive that will set
+     the include path to the <emphasis>parent</emphasis> directory
+     of <filename>yaz</filename>. That is, if &yaz; header files were
+     installed in <filename>/usr/local/include/yaz</filename>,
+     then include path is set to <filename>/usr/local/include</filename>.
+     Therefore, in your applications you should use
+     <screen>
+      #include &lt;yaz/proto.h>
+     </screen>
+     and <emphasis>not</emphasis>
+     <screen>
+      #include &lt;proto.h>
+     </screen>
+    </para>
+    <para>
+     For Libtool users, the <filename>yaz-config</filename> script provides
+     a different variant of option <literal>--libs</literal>, called
+     <literal>--lalibs</literal> that returns the name of the
+     Libtool archive(s) for &yaz; rather than the ordinary ones.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+     For applications using the threaded version of &yaz;,
+     specify <literal>threads</literal> after the
+     other options. When <literal>threads</literal> is given,
+     more flags and linker flags will be printed by
+     <filename>yaz-config</filename>. If our previous example was
+      using threads, you'd have to modify the lines that set
+     <literal>CFLAGS</literal> and <literal>LIBS</literal> as
+     follows:
+     <screen>
+      CFLAGS=`$(YAZCONFIG) --cflags threads`
+      LIBS=`$(YAZCONFIG) --libs threads`
+     </screen>
+     There is no need specify POSIX thread libraries in your Makefile.
+     The <literal>LIBS</literal> variable includes that as well.
