Compilation instructions
=========== ============
Ensure your system has the dependencies for building.
Samiam and libsam:
Run the command `scons' from the root samiam directory (the one with
SConstruct in it.)
Documentation:
Issue the command `make' from the doc directory.
Test suite:
Issue the command `make check' from the tests directory.
Dependencies
============
To compile samiam, you will need:
* (currently) gcc. If you remove the gcc extensions (the
__attribute__()s), you should be left with clean c99.
I've tested it with gcc 4.1.2 and 3.4.4.
* scons. I've tested with scons 0.96.93.D001 and 0.96.92.D002.
* Python (for scons). I've tested with Python 2.4.2, 2.4.4, and 2.5.
To compile the documentation, you will need:
* xsltproc.
* docbook-xsl.
To run the test suites, you will need:
* gcc.
* Python.
* GNU make. I've tested 3.8.1. Soon this dependency will disappear.
* Perl. I've tested 5.8.8. Soon this dependency will disappear.
Samiam itself has no dependencies (except for libsam, libc, libm and
optionally libdl).
In addition, I've made a few shell scripts that make it easy to run and test
samiam.
