A good amount of physical memory (12GB to start with, more is no luxury) is recommended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B/ COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS Normally, with a GNU environment, just type: > make For colorspace Velvet replace that command with > make color Otherwise compile each *.c file separately, then execute the default instructions at the top of Makefile. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C/ WHERE IS THE MANUAL? If you cannot find the PDF manual in the source directory (probably because you downloaded Velvet through git), you can simply compile it: > make doc
