<p><b><font size=+2>How to install LinBox (from a distribution)</font></b></center>
<p><br>
<blockquote>
See also <a href="INSTALL">INSTALL</a>. Once the LinBox
distribution has been downloaded from the <a href="http://www.linalg.org/download.html"> LinBox download section</a> ,
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><b>1.</b>
Unpack the distribution using <tt>tar</tt> command:
<blockquote>
<tt>
tar -xvzf linbox-X.X.X.tar.gz
</tt>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<b>2.</b> Go to the newly-created linbox directory and
run the script
<b>configure,</b> optionally you may specify the LinBox
installation directory or an optional package directory using prefixes:
<blockquote><tt>> cd linbox</tt>
<br><tt>> ./configure [--prefix=<inst. dir.> --with-package=<location> --enable-feature]</tt></blockquote>
<a href="http://swox.com/gmp">Gmp</a> is required and its location
must be specified <gmp location> is not a standard location such as
<tt>/usr</tt> or <tt>/usr/loca</tt>l:
<blockquote><tt>> ./configure --with-gmp= <gmp location>
[...]</tt></blockquote>
<a href="http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/">Atlas</a>, or other source of BLAS, is also required and its location
must be specified if not standard.
<blockquote><tt>> ./configure --with-atlas= <atlas location>
[...]</tt></blockquote>
This sets up the library and runs .<tt>/configure</tt>
<p> <b>3.</b> Optional configurations
<blockquote>
<b> 3.1.</b> Where to put the <tt>include/</tt> and <tt>lib/</tt> directories:
<blockquote><tt>--prefix= <chosen installation directory></tt>
<br>Ex: <tt> ./configure --prefix= `pwd` </tt>will put the files within the current
directory</blockquote>
<p><b> 3.2.</b> The use of an optional package is switched on by specifying the directory
where it can be found:
<blockquote>
--with-package=<package_directory>
<br>
<br>
<package_directory> can be left blank if the package is installed in a standard directory (<tt>/usr</tt> or <tt>/usr/local</tt>)
<br>
Ex: <tt> ./configure --with-givaro</tt> will enable the use of Givaro library and assume it is installed in a standard directory
<br>
<br>
<b>Available packages are the following:</b>
<br>
<br>
<table border="3" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 30pt;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td> <a href="http://ljk.imag.fr/CASYS/LOGICIELS/givaro/givaro-3.1.3.tar.gz"> Givaro (v3.1.3)</a> </td>
<td> <tt> --with-givaro= <givaro_directory></tt> </td>
<td> used for finite field arithmetic.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <a href="http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/TI/LiDIA/"> Lidia </a></td>
<td> <tt> --with-lidia= <lidia_directory></tt> </td>
<td> used for finite field arithmetic.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/">NTL</a></td>
<td> <tt> --with-ntl= <ntl_directory></tt></td>
<td> used for finite field, polynomial arithmetic.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <a href="ftp://ftp.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/pub/saclib/"> Saclib </a></td>
<td> <tt> --with-saclib= <saclib_directory></td>
<td> not yet used </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <a href="http://www.maplesoft.com/"> Maple </a></td>
<td> <tt> --with-maple= <maple-directory> </tt></td>
<td> used to create an interface with Maple.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/"> Doxygen </a></td>
<td> <tt> --with-doxygen= <doxygen-path> </tt></td>
<td>used to create the html reference manual.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
Note:
<blockquote>
<p> the use of <tt> --with-default= <default_directory></tt> can add a special directory to the default location of library
<p> the use of <tt> --with-all</tt> specifies that all packages will be used
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p><b> 3.3.</b> The use of special feature is switched on by calling the enable parameter:
<blockquote>
<tt> --enable-feature</tt>
<br>
Ex: <tt> ./configure --enable-shared</tt> will turn on the build of a shared library
<br>
<br>
<b>Available extra features are the following:</b>
<br>
<br>
<table border="3" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 30pt;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td> <tt> --enable-optimization</tt> </td>
<td> turn on runtime optimization during the configuration </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <tt> --enable-doc</tt> </td>
<td> turn on the build of documentation via Doxygen.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<b>4. </b>Install the library:
<blockquote><tt>> make install</tt></blockquote>
