4 ANSI-compliant C++ compiler. GNU C++ compiler (version >= 3.4) is recommend.
5 Non-GNU compilers might not work at the moment.
7 GNU multiprecision library (http://gmplib.org), version > 4.0 (older 3.x
8 versions might work too).
10 [Optional] To build CLN documentation texinfo and TeX are necessary.
12 If you install CLN from git, you also need
14 git itself (http://git.or.cz), version >= 1.5.0
15 GNU autoconf (http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf), version >= 2.59
16 GNU libtool (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool), version >= 1.5
17 GNU automake (http://www.gnu.org/software/automake), version >= 1.8
19 Installation from a source .tar.bz2 distribution.

39 The "configure" script can be given a number of options to enable and
40 disable various features. Most useful ones are:
44 Install CLN into the directory DIR (default: /usr/local).
48 Use GNU multiprecision library (default: yes, if available)
52 Don't build static version of CLN library. This option is useful if
53 want to reduce the build time (and you don't need the static library).

106 (*) On these platforms, problems with the assembler routines have been
107 reported. It may be best to add "-DNO_ASM" to CPPFLAGS before
110 Using gcc-4.2, the "make" step takes about 15 minutes, on an x86_64 / 2 GHz.
112 If you use g++ from gcc-3.0.4 or older on Sparc, add either "-O", "-O1" or
113 "-O2 -fno-schedule-insns" to the CXXFLAGS. With full "-O2", g++ miscompiles
114 the division routines. Do not use gcc-3.0 on Sparc for compiling CLN, it
