21 [PAGE]hello_lemon[PAGE] Compile Your First Code
23 First of all you have to install LEMON on your system (see
24 \ref install for instructions).
25 After that you can paste the following code segment into a file
26 <tt>hello_lemon.cc</tt> to have a first working program that uses LEMON.
28 \dontinclude hello_lemon.cc
32 In this small example a directed graph is created with two nodes and
35 Now let us compile this code.
36 (We suppose that you have it in a file called <tt>hello_lemon.cc</tt>.)
38 If LEMON is installed <b>system-wide</b> (into directory \c /usr/local),
39 then it is very easy to compile this program with the
40 following command (the argument <tt>-lemon</tt> tells the compiler
41 that we are using the installed LEMON).
44 g++ -lemon hello_lemon.cc -o hello_lemon
47 As a result you will get the exacutable \c hello_lemon in the current
48 directory, which you can run by the following command.
54 If LEMON is installed <b>user-local</b> into a directory
55 (e.g. <tt>~/lemon</tt>) or if you just skipped the step
56 <tt>make install</tt>, then compiling the code is a bit more difficult.
57 You have to issue a command like this.
60 g++ -lemon -I ~/lemon -L ~/lemon/lemon/.libs hello_lemon.cc -o hello_lemon
63 If everything has gone well, then our program prints out the followings.
66 Hello World! This is LEMON library here.
67 We have a directed graph with 2 nodes and 1 arc.
70 If you managed to compile and run this example code without any problems,
71 you may go on reading this tutorial to get to know the basic notions,
72 features and tools of LEMON. However if you encountered problems that
73 you did not manage to solve, do not hesitate to
