This package serves as an example of how to create a GAP 4 package.
The Example package uses an external binary and therefore a complete installation only works on UNIX systems or systems that support a UNIX-like environment, e.g. OS X, or Windows with Cygwin. However, a partial installation without the external binary is possible on any system.
To compile the package, change to the /pkg/example-* directory
of your GAP installation and then call
./configure <path>
where is a path to the main GAP root directory; so normally you would call
./configure ../..
(the ../.. is the default and so may be omitted) and then call
make
to compile the binary.
Now start GAP and type
LoadPackage("example");
to load the package. You will see the package banner. If you have not compiled the external binary, you should receive a warning.
For details on how to use the Example package see the package
documentation in the doc subdirectory (view its HTML version or
manual.pdf via a PDF viewer). You will find additional information
on how to create a GAP package in the Appendix of the manual.
