Installation
@@ -60,3 +73,24 @@ To protect you, the "configure" script checks for a feature that was
added in V1.0.3 so it won't continue with earlier versions anyhow.
Please install CLN properly on your system before continuing with
GiNaC.

+Working with the Cint C++ interpreter
+=====================================
+
+The interface to the Cint C++ interpreter is currently in an alpha
+state. Please see to learn about
+Cint and install it before installing ginaccint. For the tool
+makecint to work properly it must know where Cint has its system
+directory. This is usually done by exporting $CINTSYSDIR to point to
+the proper place. With GiNaC you may either try to export that
+variable and type
+ $ ./configure --with-cint
+or specify it on the command line saying
+ $ ./configure --with-cint=/my/path/to/cintsysdir
+Good luck!
