Installation Instructions
=========================
Prerequisites
The SNS Common Libraries uses Swig for generation of Python bindings to
the library functions. This program must be accessable on the compilation
machine. Doxygen is used for creating documentation. If documentation is
desired and did not come with the distribution, this program must be
accessable on the compilation machine. The minimum software versions for
dependencies are listed below.
1. GCC - 3.4.6
2. Autoconf - 2.59
3. Automake - 1.9.4
4. Libtool - 1.5.10
5. Swig - 1.3.28
6. Python - 2.3.4
7. Doxygen - 1.4.6
8. Dot (Graphviz) - 2.8
Note: Higher versions may work but are not guaranteed.
1) Extract the archive
tar xzf sns_common_lib-<version>.tar.gz
cd sns_common_lib-<version>
2) Run 'configure' and 'make'.
./configure
make
If an alternate Python distribution is needed, make sure the Python command
appears in the $PATH first. That one will be interpreted and used by the
configuration system.
If there are any problems, try different configure options to see if one
will work. You can see what switches are available by typing
./configure --help
3) Test the installation using
make test
4) Install the files in the default location (usually /usr/local) using
make install
