Installation Instructions
=========================
Since you are reading this I assume you already obtained one of the release
tarballs and successfully extracted it. The latest version of LEMON is
available at our webpage (http://lemon.cs.elte.hu/).
In order to install LEMON from the extracted source tarball you have to
issue the following commands:
This changes to the directory which was created when you extracted the
sources. The x.y.z part is a version number.
This runs the configure shell script, which does some checks and
configuration (creates makefiles etc).
This command compiles the non-template part of LEMON into libemon.a file.
It also compiles the benchmark and demo programs when enabled.
This step is optional, but recommended. It runs the test programs that we
developed for LEMON to check whether the library works properly on your
This command installs LEMON under /usr/local (you will need root
privileges to be able to do that). If you want to install it to some
other location, then pass the --prefix=DIRECTORY flag to configure in
step 1. For example: `./configure --prefix=/home/username/lemon'
You can pass the following flags to configure in step 1
(see ./configure --help for more):
Change the C++ compiler to 'comp'.
Pass the 'flags' to the compiler. For example
CXXFLAGS='-O3 -march=pentium-m'
turns on generation of aggressively optimized
Build the demo programs too.
Do not build the demo programs (default).
Build the benchmark programs too.
Do not build the benchmark programs (default).
Enable GLPK support (default). You should specify the prefix too if
you installed GLPK to some non-standard location (e.g. your home
directory). If it is not found, GLPK support will be disabled.
--with-glpk-includedir=DIR
The directory where the GLPK header files are located. This is only
useful when the GLPK headers and libraries are not under the same
prefix (which is unlikely).
The directory where the GLPK libraries are located. This is only
useful when the GLPK headers and libraries are not under the same
prefix (which is unlikely).
Enable CPLEX support (default). You should specify the prefix too
if you installed CPLEX to some non-standard location
(e.g. /opt/ilog/cplex75). If it is not found, CPLEX support will be
--with-cplex-includedir=DIR
The directory where the CPLEX header files are located. This is
only useful when the CPLEX headers and libraries are not under the
same prefix (e.g. /usr/local/cplex/cplex75/include).
The directory where the CPLEX libraries are located. This is only
useful when the CPLEX headers and libraries are not under the same
/usr/local/cplex/cplex75/lib/i86_linux2_glibc2.2_gcc3.0/static_pic_mt).
