MTK++ Configuration, Compilation and Installation

Assuming that you have already downloaded the latest MTK++ sources, untar and gunzip the sources, and enter the unpacked directory:

% gzip -cd MTKpp-<VERSION>.tar.gz | tar xvf - 
% cd MTKpp-<VERSION>

% ./configure
% make

The `configure' command can be invoked with additional switches and options (run `./configure --help' to get a list of them). The most important are:

`--prefix=PREFIX' - set top installation directory to a certain PREFIX value. By default it is set to `/usr/local', so `make install' will install the package's files into `/usr/local/include', `/usr/local/lib`, etc.
`--enable-debug' - print debugging statements (disabled by default)
`--with-boost' - path to boost library
`--with-xerces' - path to xerces library
`--enable-doxygen' - generate and install HTML documentation (disabled by default)

When the configuration process is finished a status message is briefly presented. For instance, after having invoked the following configuration command:

% ./configure

one can observe something like that:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MTKpp-0.2.0 package configuration:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directories:
  - prefix ....... : /usr/local
  - docdir ....... : /usr/local/doc
  - exec_prefix .. : ${prefix}
  - includedir ... : ${prefix}/include
  - libdir ....... : ${exec_prefix}/lib

Switches:
  - debug ........ : Off 
  - html ......... : no

Documentation tools:
  - Doxygen ...... : yes
  - LaTeX ........ : yes
  - Dvips ........ : yes
  - GhostScript .. : yes
  - Dot .......... : yes

Testing tools:
  - Diff ......... : yes

External libs:
  - MKL .......... : 
  - BOOST ........ : ${srcdir}lib/boost_1_38_0
  - LOG4CXX ...... : 
  - XERCES ....... : 
  - QT ........... : 

Compiler/linker flags/libs/defs:
  - CXX .......... : g++
  - CXXFLAGS ..... : -DNDEBUG -DUSE_TINYXML -DTIXML_USE_STL -O3 -DC99_OK -Wall -fno-common
  - LDFLAGS ...... :
  - C99 OK ....... : yes, using unsigned long long, and maximum number of atoms is 100000

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now type 'make && make install' to build and install MTKpp-0.2.0 package
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, it is time for compiling and linking the MTK++ library. To do so, please simply run the following command:

% make

MTK++ should compile without any errors or warnings. If this is not the case, please submit a bug-report. Please include information about your OS, compiler version, external libraries and their versions, etc.

To make the html pages type the following:

% make docs

Finally, you should install the compiled and linked library, include files by typing:

% make install

Depending on the PREFIX settings during configuration, you might need the root (administrator) access to success with this step.

Eventually, you might invoke the following command

% make clean

to remove all files created during compilation process, or even

% make clean

to remove all files generated by the `configure' script.

Instructions for Mac OS X

To compile and use MTK++ under Mac OS X, you should install the latest version of Apple's developer tools. The tools are delivered with Mac OS X, but you may need to unpack them.

BLAS and LAPACK support is obtained with the vecLib framework, but you must then use Apple's GCC compiler.
