INSTALLATION
0. To install you need an ISO C++ compiler (such as g++ from
GCC version 3.3.2) and GNU Make.
You will need Bison and Flex if you're going to change the RPSL grammar.
For roe and aoe, you also need Tk4.0/Tcl7.4 or higher. If Tcl/Tk
is not installed in a standard include directory, please set the
environment variables as the following:
TCL_TK_INCLUDE_DIR to the : separated list of directories where
tcl.h and tk.h include files can be found;
TCL_TK_LIBRARY_DIR to the : separated list of directories where
tcl and tk libraries can be found;
TCL_LIBRARY to the location of the directory containing standard
library scripts (init.tcl and etc) for Tcl;
TK_LIBRARY to the location of the directory containing Tcl
scripts (tk.tcl and etc) related to Tk;
For example:
TCL_TK_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/tcl/include:/usr/local/tk/include
TCL_TK_LIBRARY_DIR=/usr/local/tcl/lib:/usr/local/tk/lib
TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tcl7.6
TK_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tk4.2
If Tk4.0/Tcl7.4 or higher can not be linked by simply adding -ltk
and -ltcl switches to the linker, please define the environment
variable LD_TCL_TK_LIBS to the appropriate value. For example:
LD_TCL_TK_LIBS="-ltk4.0 -ltcl4.0"
Please make sure that tk is linked before tcl.
The development platform is a linux PC using gcc-2.95.3 and
libstdc++-2.9.0. A statically-linked executables for various
platforms (well, we will try our best) can be provided upon
request.
1. unzip and untar the distribution file
2. on RAToolSet directory, type `./configure' to configure the
package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old
version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure'
instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure'
itself. The `--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the
installation process should put RAToolSet and its data files.
This defaults to `/usr/local'.
3. type "make depend" to generate the make file dependencies
4. type "make all" to build IRRToolSet.
5. type "make install" to copy the executables/man-pages to
/usr/local/{bin,man} directory (or to the directory
specified with --prefix argument to configure).
KNOWN PROBLEMS DURING INSTALLATION
On Dec Alpha's running OSF/1, the make program seems to have
problems, please try gnu make (often gmake).
If you run into compilation problems on DU or AIX systems, and you
used --enable-debug option of configure, try not using that
option. Older versions of gcc/g++ seems to have problems with
these options on these platforms.
Please let us know if you face any problems at the mailing list irrtoolset@ripe.net. Bug reports and suggestions are always welcome.
