cannam@133 5 Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based
cannam@133 6 RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think of Google's Protocol Buffers
cannam@133 7 (http://protobuf.googlecode.com), except faster. In fact, in benchmarks,
cannam@133 8 Cap'n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.

cannam@133 14 WARNING: Cap'n Proto requires a modern compiler. See the above link for
cannam@133 15 detailed requirements.

cannam@133 17 To build and install (from a release package), simply do:
cannam@133 18 ./configure
cannam@133 19 make -j4 check
cannam@133 20 sudo make install
cannam@133 21
cannam@133 22 The -j4 allows the build to use up to four processor cores instead of one.
cannam@133 23 You can increase this number if you have more cores. Specifying "check"
cannam@133 24 says to run tests in addition to building. This can be omitted to make the
cannam@133 25 build slightly faster, but running tests and reporting failures back to the
cannam@133 26 developers helps us out!
