# The Linbox Library
[](https://ci.inria.fr/linbox/job/LinBox/)
## Purpose
The Linbox library provides functionalities for exact linear algebra.
See doc/mainpage.doxy for more info.
## Auto-installer for quick install
Download [linbox-auto-install.sh](https://github.com/linbox-team/linbox/raw/master/linbox-auto-install.sh), make it executable, and run it!
To get a list of options:
```
./linbox-auto-install.sh --help
```
Requirements:
- GNU software building tools (e.g. Debian packages `autotools-dev` and `dh-autoreconf`),
- possibly the `gfortran` compiler, if Fortran-based BLAS (such as OpenBLAS) are built via this script.
Examples:
For instance, on a machine with an installation of GMP and OpenBLAS in the standard search paths:
```
./linbox-auto-install.sh --stable=yes --make-flags="-j 3" --with-blas-libs="-lopenblas"
```
This script will install stable versions of Givaro, fflas-ffpack, and then LinBox, in the default path (`/tmp/`).
To change this default folder, use the `--prefix` option:
```
./linbox-auto-install.sh --prefix="/path/to"
```
This will install the development versions of Givaro, fflas-ffpack, and then LinBox, in the folder `/path/to/`.
Here is another example fetching and installing the latest versions of GMP, Givaro, OpenBLAS, fflas-ffpack and then LinBox.
```
./linbox-auto-install.sh --enable-openblas=yes --enable-gmp=yes
```
## Installation
In brief:
```
./configure <options>
make
make install
```
See INSTALL and `./configure --help` for more installation information.
Availability: from [github.com/linbox-team](https://github.com/linbox-team/).
Requirement: FFLAS-FFPACK
Required by FFLAS-FFPACK:
- any BLAS (Fortran or C): e.g. ATLAS, OpenBLAS, BLIS, ...
- Givaro
- GMP
## Optional Dependencies
- NTL,
- IML,
- FLINT,
See doc/install\*html for details.
This library requires the GNU C++ compiler (gcc-4.3 or newer) or any compiler supporting advanced template features.
## Authors
The LinBox group (see AUTHORS file for a list of contributors).
