Initial Setup
-------------
You first need to type:
sh autogen.sh
to generate the initial configure and *.in files. You only need to
type this again if you upgrade you system's versions of
libtool/automake/autoconf and wish to use these newer version for the build
After doing this type:
./configure
For a full list of options that can be passed to configure type:
./configure --help
(typical configure options include the choice of compiler, enabling or
disabling creation of bindings and the location of HDF libraries)
General Building
----------------
Just typing
make
should be enough to build the NeXus libraries and executables from source.
Make will automatically re-run configure if it needs to.
The test programs can then be run with
make check
and everything installed onto the local system with
make install
Making a distribution kit
-------------------------
To generate a *.tar.gz distribution kit just type:
make distcheck
If you need to pass arguments to "configure" during the distcheck process,
you must add these to the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS variable in Makefile.am
To generate an RPM install kit see README.rpm
Also see README.versions for setting nexus release versions
If you have problems
--------------------
If autogen.sh reports errors, it may be that you need
to install/upgrade your versions of autoconf, automake and libtool.
Source for these can be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool
Most likely it will be autoconf that will need updating - NeXus
now requires autoconf 2.61 or above
NeXus Developer Mailing Lists
-----------------------------
SVN commit/log messages are automatically sent to the nexus-code-svn@nexusformat.org mailing list - if you wish to receive these, subscribe to the list via the link
http://lists.nexusformat.org/mailman/listinfo/nexus-code-svn
Any general questions should be directed to nexus@nexusformat.org list - you can subscribe to this via the link
