Building

Generating the configure script

If you have downloaded the source from the CVS or SVN repositories, then you should first create the necessary files by using autotools, or by using the included autogen.sh script. To do so, simply change directories to the source tree and run the script as such:

  cd ./libaeon-0.16.15/
  ./autogen.sh

Configuring for building

Before building the library, you must configure it to work on your system. To do so, you must run the configure script that was either included in your package, or built by the autogen script.

To configure the source code for compilation, run the script as so:

  ./configure

Compiling the library

Once you have completed running the configure script, it's time to compile the code. On most Linux/UNIX systems, it would simply be:

  make

This should compile the code into a library file, ready for use. To install the library system-wide afer compilation, you should use:

  make install
