The @code{configure} command checks out some features of your system and
C++ compiler and builds the @code{Makefile}s. The @code{make} command
-builds the library. This step may take 4 hours on an average workstation.

The @code{make check} runs some test to check that no important subroutine
has been miscompiled.
If you use @code{g++} from gcc-2.95.x on Sparc, add either @samp{-O},
@samp{-O1} or @samp{-O2 -fno-schedule-insns} to the CXXFLAGS. With full
-@samp{-O2}, @code{g++} miscompiles the division routines. Also, on OSF/1 or
-Tru64 using gcc-2.95.x, you should specify @samp{--disable-shared} because of
-linker problems with duplicate symbols in shared libraries.

By default, both a shared and a static library are built. You can build
CLN as a static (or shared) library only, by calling @code{configure} with
