*** With CMake ***

yaml-cpp uses CMake to support cross-platform building. In a UNIX-like system, the basic steps to build are:

1. Download and install CMake (if you don't have root privileges, just install to a local directory, like ~/bin)

2. From the source directory, run:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

and then the usual

make
make install

3. To clean up, just remove the 'build' directory.

*** Without CMake ***

If you don't want to use CMake, just add all .cpp files to a makefile. yaml-cpp does not need any special build settings, so no 'configure' file is necessary.

(Note: this is pretty tedious. It's sooo much easier to use CMake.)
