4 GiNaC requires the CLN library by Bruno Haible, available at
5 <ftp://ftp.santafe.eu/pub/gnu/> or <ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/>.
6 You will also need a C++ compiler adhering to the ANSI standard (we used gcc
7 for development so if you have a different compiler you are on your own).
13 As with any autoconfiguring GNU software, installation is as easy as this:
18 [become root if necessary]
22 - Linux/x86, EGCS-1.1.2 or GCC 2-95.
24 The "make" step takes about 10 minutes, on a 586 DX / 133 MHz / 64 MB or
25 about 2 minutes on a P-III /550 MHz / 512 MB.
27 The "configure" script can be given a number of options to enable and
28 disable various features. For a complete list, type:
32 A few of the more important ones:
34 --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
35 [defaults to /usr/local]
36 --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
37 [defaults to the value given to --prefix]
38 --disable-shared suppress the creation of a shared version of libginac
40 More detailed installation instructions can be found in the documentation,
41 in the doc/ directory.
47 You should use at least CLN V1.0.2, since all earlier ones are
48 somewhat buggy. Even V1.0.1 has a few problems and GiNaC will not
49 support older versions. Please install it properly on your system
50 before continuing with GiNaC.
