PREREQUISITES
=============
-GiNaC requires the CLN library by Bruno Haible, available from either
-one of the following FTP-sites:
- * <ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/gnu/>,
- * <ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/> or
- * <ftp://ftpthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/pub/gnu/>.
+GiNaC requires the CLN library by Bruno Haible installed on your system.
+It is available from <ftp://ftpthep.physik.uni-mainz.de/pub/gnu/>.
+
You will also need a decent ANSI-compliant C++-compiler. We recommend
the C++ compiler from the GNU compiler collection, GCC >= 3.0. If you
have a different or older compiler you are on your own. Note that you
- GCC 2.96 or earlier because proper exception and standard library support
is missing there.
+To build the GiNaC tutorial and reference manual in HTML, DVI, PostScript,
+or PDF formats, use one of
+
+ $ make html
+ $ make dvi
+ $ make ps
+ $ make pdf
+
The "configure" script can be given a number of options to enable and
disable various features. For a complete list, type:
--exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
[defaults to the value given to --prefix]
--disable-shared suppress the creation of a shared version of libginac
+ --disable-static suppress the creation of a static version of libginac
More detailed installation instructions can be found in the documentation,
in the doc/ directory.
