/**
[PAGE]sec_hello_lemon[PAGE] Compile Your First Code

First of all, you have to install LEMON on your system (see the
<a href="http://lemon.cs.elte.hu/trac/lemon/wiki/InstallGuide"><b>Installation
Guide</b></a> for instructions).
In this section, we assume that you use a Linux environment and
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">GCC</a> compiler.

Once you have installed the library, you may paste the following code segment
into a file <tt>hello_lemon.cc</tt> to have a first working program that uses
LEMON.

\dontinclude hello_lemon.cc
\skip #include
\until }

In this small example, a directed graph is created with two nodes and
an arc added to it.

Now let us compile this code.
(We suppose that you have it in a file called <tt>hello_lemon.cc</tt>.)

If LEMON is installed <b>system-wide</b> (into directory \c /usr/local),
then it is very easy to compile this program with the
following command (the argument <tt>-lemon</tt> tells the compiler
that we are using the installed LEMON).

\verbatim
g++ -o hello_lemon hello_lemon.cc -lemon
\endverbatim

As a result you will get the exacutable \c hello_lemon in the current
directory, which you can run by the following command.

\verbatim
./hello_lemon
\endverbatim

If LEMON is installed <b>user-local</b> into a directory
(e.g. <tt>~/lemon</tt>), then compiling the code is a bit more difficult.
You have to issue a command like this.

\verbatim
g++ -o hello_lemon -I ~/lemon/include hello_lemon.cc -L ~/lemon/lib -lemon
\endverbatim

If everything has gone well, then our program prints out the followings.

\verbatim
Hello World! This is LEMON library here.
We have a directed graph with 2 nodes and 1 arc.
\endverbatim

If you managed to compile and run this example code without any problems,
you may go on reading this tutorial to get to know the basic notions,
features and tools of LEMON. However, if you encountered problems that
you did not manage to solve, do not hesitate to
