1.6 +Installation Instructions
1.7 +=========================
1.8
1.9 - This file is free documentation; the Free Software Foundation gives
1.10 -unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it.
1.11 + Since you are reading this I assume you already obtained one of the release
1.12 +tarballs and successfully extracted it. The latest version of LEMON is
1.13 +available at our webpage (http://lemon.cs.elte.hu/).
1.14
1.15 -Basic Installation
1.16 -==================
1.17 + In order to install LEMON from the extracted source tarball you have to
1.18 +issue the following commands:
1.19
1.20 - These are generic installation instructions.
1.21 + 1. `cd lemon-x.y.z'
1.22
1.23 - The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
1.24 -various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
1.25 -those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
1.26 -It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
1.27 -definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
1.28 -you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
1.29 -file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
1.30 -debugging `configure').
1.31 + This changes to the directory which was created when you extracted the
1.32 + sources. The x.y.z part is a version number.
1.33
1.34 - It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
1.35 -and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
1.36 -the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
1.37 -disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
1.38 -cache files.)
1.39 + 2. `./configure'
1.40
1.41 - If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
1.42 -to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
1.43 -diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
1.44 -be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
1.45 -some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
1.46 -may remove or edit it.
1.47 + This runs the configure shell script, which does some checks and
1.48 + configuration (creates makefiles etc).
1.49
1.50 - The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
1.51 -`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
1.52 -`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
1.53 -a newer version of `autoconf'.
1.54 + 3. `make'
1.55
1.56 -The simplest way to compile this package is:
1.57 + This command compiles the non-template part of LEMON into libemon.a file.
1.58 + It also compiles the benchmark and demo programs when enabled.
1.59
1.60 - 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
1.61 - `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
1.62 - using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
1.63 - `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
1.64 - `configure' itself.
1.65 + 4. `make check'
1.66
1.67 - Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
1.68 - messages telling which features it is checking for.
1.69 + This step is optional, but recommended. It runs the test programs that we
1.70 + developed for LEMON to check whether the library works properly on your
1.71 + platform.
1.72
1.73 - 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
1.74 + 5. `make install'
1.75
1.76 - 3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
1.77 - the package.
1.78 + This command installs LEMON under /usr/local (you will need root
1.79 + privileges to be able to do that). If you want to install it to some
1.80 + other location, then pass the --prefix=DIRECTORY flag to configure in
1.81 + step 1. For example: `./configure --prefix=/home/username/lemon'
1.82
1.83 - 4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
1.84 - documentation.
1.85
1.86 - 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
1.87 - source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
1.88 - files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
1.89 - a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
1.90 - also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
1.91 - for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
1.92 - all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
1.93 - with the distribution.
1.94 +Configure Flags
1.95 +===============
1.96
1.97 -Compilers and Options
1.98 -=====================
1.99 + You can pass the following flags to configure in step 1 (see ./configure
1.100 +--help for more):
1.101
1.102 - Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
1.103 -the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help'
1.104 -for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
1.105 + --with-glpk[=PREFIX]
1.106
1.107 - You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
1.108 -by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
1.109 -is an example:
1.110 + Enable GLPK support (default). You should specify the prefix too if you
1.111 +installed GLPK to some non-standard location (e.g. your home directory). If it
1.112 +is not found, GLPK support will be disabled.
1.113
1.114 - ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
1.115 + --with-glpk-includedir=DIR
1.116
1.117 - *Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
1.118 + The directory where the GLPK header files are located. This is only useful
1.119 +when the GLPK headers and libraries are not under the same prefix (which is
1.120 +unlikely).
1.121
1.122 -Compiling For Multiple Architectures
1.123 -====================================
1.124 + --with-glpk-libdir=DIR
1.125
1.126 - You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
1.127 -same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
1.128 -own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
1.129 -supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
1.130 -directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
1.131 -the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
1.132 -source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
1.133 + The directory where the GLPK libraries are located. This is only useful
1.134 +when the GLPK headers and libraries are not under the same prefix (which is
1.135 +unlikely).
1.136
1.137 - If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
1.138 -variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
1.139 -time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
1.140 -package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
1.141 -for another architecture.
1.142 + --without-glpk
1.143
1.144 -Installation Names
1.145 -==================
1.146 + Disable GLPK support.
1.147
1.148 - By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
1.149 -`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
1.150 -installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
1.151 -option `--prefix=PATH'.
1.152 + --with-cplex[=PREFIX]
1.153
1.154 - You can specify separate installation prefixes for
1.155 -architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
1.156 -give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
1.157 -PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
1.158 -Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
1.159 + Enable CPLEX support (default). You should specify the prefix too if you
1.160 +installed CPLEX to some non-standard location (e.g. /opt/ilog/cplex75). If it
1.161 +is not found, CPLEX support will be disabled.
1.162
1.163 - In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
1.164 -options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
1.165 -kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
1.166 -you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
1.167 + --with-cplex-includedir=DIR
1.168
1.169 - If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
1.170 -with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
1.171 -option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
1.172 + The directory where the CPLEX header files are located. This is only useful
1.173 +when the CPLEX headers and libraries are not under the same prefix (e.g.
1.174 +/usr/local/cplex/cplex75/include).
1.175
1.176 -Optional Features
1.177 -=================
1.178 + --with-cplex-libdir=DIR
1.179
1.180 - Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
1.181 -`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
1.182 -They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
1.183 -is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
1.184 -`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
1.185 -package recognizes.
1.186 + The directory where the CPLEX libraries are located. This is only useful
1.187 +when the CPLEX headers and libraries are not under the same prefix (e.g.
1.188 +/usr/local/cplex/cplex75/lib/i86_linux2_glibc2.2_gcc3.0/static_pic_mt).
1.189
1.190 - For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
1.191 -find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
1.192 -you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
1.193 -`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
1.194 + --without-cplex
1.195
1.196 -Specifying the System Type
1.197 -==========================
1.198 + Disable CPLEX support.
1.199
1.200 - There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
1.201 -automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
1.202 -will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
1.203 -_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
1.204 -a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
1.205 -`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
1.206 -type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
1.207 + --enable-demo
1.208
1.209 - CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
1.210 + Build the demo programs too.
1.211
1.212 -where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
1.213 + --disable-demo
1.214
1.215 - OS KERNEL-OS
1.216 + Do not build the demo programs (default).
1.217
1.218 - See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
1.219 -`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
1.220 -need to know the machine type.
1.221 + --enable-benchmark
1.222
1.223 - If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
1.224 -use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
1.225 -produce code for.
1.226 + Build the benchmark programs too.
1.227
1.228 - If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
1.229 -platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
1.230 -"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
1.231 -eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
1.232 + --disable-benchmark
1.233
1.234 -Sharing Defaults
1.235 -================
1.236 -
1.237 - If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
1.238 -you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
1.239 -default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
1.240 -`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
1.241 -`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
1.242 -`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
1.243 -A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
1.244 -
1.245 -Defining Variables
1.246 -==================
1.247 -
1.248 - Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
1.249 -environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
1.250 -configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
1.251 -variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
1.252 -them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
1.253 -
1.254 - ./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
1.255 -
1.256 -will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
1.257 -overridden in the site shell script).
1.258 -
1.259 -`configure' Invocation
1.260 -======================
1.261 -
1.262 - `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
1.263 -operates.
1.264 -
1.265 -`--help'
1.266 -`-h'
1.267 - Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
1.268 -
1.269 -`--version'
1.270 -`-V'
1.271 - Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
1.272 - script, and exit.
1.273 -
1.274 -`--cache-file=FILE'
1.275 - Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
1.276 - traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
1.277 - disable caching.
1.278 -
1.279 -`--config-cache'
1.280 -`-C'
1.281 - Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
1.282 -
1.283 -`--quiet'
1.284 -`--silent'
1.285 -`-q'
1.286 - Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
1.287 - suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
1.288 - messages will still be shown).
1.289 -
1.290 -`--srcdir=DIR'
1.291 - Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
1.292 - `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
1.293 -
1.294 -`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
1.295 -`configure --help' for more details.
1.296 -
1.297 + Do not build the benchmark programs (default).
