Compilation:

First of all, you need the expat XML parser installed on your machine. If
this is not already done, you can get the parser from http://expat.sourceforge.net/
You should then edit the makefile supplied, changing the EXPAT_INC and EXPAT_LIB paths for your
system.

You make the program with:
make -f makefile

This produces the executable file bali_score.
