GiNaC requires the CLN library by Bruno Haible installed on your system.
|
| 5 |
|
|
It is available from <ftp://ftpthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/pub/gnu/>.

You will also need a decent ANSI-compliant C++-compiler. We recommend the
|
| 8 |
|
|
C++ compiler from the GNU compiler collection, GCC >= 3.0. If you have a
|
| 9 |
|
|
different or older compiler you are on your own. Note that you may have to
|
| 10 |
|
|
use the same compiler you compiled CLN with because of differing
|
| 11 |
|
|
name-mangling schemes.
|

|
|
|

|
|
Known to work with:
|

vollinga |
1.51.2.1 |
- Linux on x86, Alpha and Sparc using GCC 3.x and 4.0.

|
| 16 |
|
|
Known not to work with:
|
| 17 |
|
|
- GCC 2.96 or earlier because proper exception and standard library support
|
| 18 |
|
|
is missing there.

If you install from CVS, you also need GNU autoconf (>=2.59) and
|
| 21 |
|
|
automake (>=1.7) to be installed.

To build the GiNaC tutorial and reference manual in HTML, DVI, PostScript,
|
| 46 |
|
|
or PDF formats, use one of
|
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
$ make html
|
| 49 |
|
|
$ make dvi
|
| 50 |
|
|
$ make ps
|
| 51 |
|
|
$ make pdf
|
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
cbauer |
1.51 |
To compile and run GiNaC's test and benchmark suite and check whether the
|
| 54 |
|
|
library works correctly you can use
|
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
$ make check
|
| 57 |
|
|
|
| 58 |
|
|
The "configure" script (and "autogen.sh", which invokes "configure") can be
|
| 59 |
|
|
given a number of options to enable and disable various features. For a
|
| 60 |
|
|
complete list, type:
|
| 61 |
cbauer |
1.2 |
|
| 62 |
|
|
$ ./configure --help
|
| 63 |
|
|
|
| 64 |
|
|
A few of the more important ones:
|
| 65 |
|
|
|
| 66 |
|
|
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
|
| 67 |
|
|
[defaults to /usr/local]
|
| 68 |
|
|
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
|
| 69 |
|
|
[defaults to the value given to --prefix]
|
| 70 |
|
|
--disable-shared suppress the creation of a shared version of libginac
|
| 71 |
cbauer |
1.50 |
--disable-static suppress the creation of a static version of libginac

The time the "make" step takes depends heavily on optimization levels. Large
|
| 77 |
|
|
amounts of memory (>128MB) will be required by the compiler, also depending
|
| 78 |
|
|
on optimization. To give you a rough idea of what you have to expect the
|
| 79 |
|
|
following table may be helpful. It was measured on an Athlon/800MHz with
|
| 80 |

You should use at least CLN-1.1, since during the development of GiNaC
|
| 96 |
|
|
various bugs have been discovered and fixed in earlier versions. Please
|
| 97 |
|
|
install CLN properly on your system before continuing with GiNaC.

The most common reason why this doesn't succeed is the absence of
|
| 103 |
cbauer |
1.51 |
libreadline and/or the corresponding header files. Depending on what your
|
| 104 |
|
|
system/distribution is, you will have to install a package called
|
| 105 |
|
|
libreadline and maybe libreadline-dev. If your system's vendor doesn't
|
| 106 |
|
|
supply such packages, go to <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/> and compile
|
| 107 |
|
|
it yourself.

Problems with missing standard header files

-------------------------------------------

Building GiNaC requires many standard header files. If you get a configure
|
| 113 |
|
|
error complaining about such missing files your compiler and library are
|
| 114 |
|
|
probably not up to date enough and it's no worth continuing.
