Compiling with the Imakefile
----------------------------
To simplify compilation, BattleBall comes with a short Imakefile.
To compile, make any desired edits to the Imakefile, and type
xmkmf
make
That should do it. A binary named "battleball" should be created in
the current directory.
If you have problems with make, check that you are using the GNU
version of make (highly recommended).
Using a compiler besides g++
----------------------------
The Imakefile is set up to use g++, which is the recommended compiler
for BB. If you use a different compiler, it must be able to handle the
Standard Template Library (STL). A list of STL-compatible (and
incompatible) compilers is available at
http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/programming/stl/compatibility.html
If your compiler can handle STL, but doesn't have STL in its default
include path, add -Istl to the INCLUDES line in the Imakefile. This
will make your compiler use the STL source directory that comes with BB.
AIX note:
the AIX version of g++ 2.7.2 will successfully compile BattleBall, but
the binary it generates does not run correctly (at least it didn't for
me). Use xlC instead to compile BB under AIX.
Non-Imakefile compilation
-------------------------
If you have problems with the Imakefile, or if your system doesn't come
with xmkmf, you can use a script to compile BB. Several short scripts
are provided to compile BB on a variety of platforms:
cmpl.aix (compiles under AIX using xlC)
cmpl.linux (compiles under Linux using g++)
cmpl.solar (compiles under Solaris using g++)
cmpl.solar.CC (compiles under Solaris using CC)
Edit one of these scripts (if necessary) for your system, and run it
to compile BB.

Send suggestions for improvements to the Imakefile or compilation
scripts to pahardin@cs.utexas.edu.
Good luck!
