Compilation¶
Library Compilation¶
To compile the automix library, simply type make on the command line:
$ make
This default command compiles only the library with optimization flags -O3 on.
If you need to link your program against a library with debug information, type:
$ make DEBUG=1
instead.
If the compilation went without problems, you should see the libautomix.so file created.
Typically, libraries are installed in the /usr/local/lib directory,
and include files such as automix.h are installed in /usr/local/include.
If the default install location is enough for your needs, type:
$ sudo make install
sudo privilege may be needed to copy files into the /usr/local directory.
If you prefer to install in a different location you can provide it with the PREFIX command line flag:
$ make install PREFIX=/my/preferred/path/
Compiling your program against libautomix¶
If your program is contained in a single main.c file, and assuming no extra libraries or include files are required:
$ cc main.c -lautomix -o myprogram
should be enough to compile. If /usr/local/ is not a default search place for your libraries,
add a -L/usr/local/lib and a -I/usr/local/include to the compilation line:
$ cc main.c -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include -lautomix -o myprogram
You should have a myprogram executable compiled.
Compiling test and tutorial¶
Along with the library you can compile and run the tests:
$ make test
$ ./test
Or the tutorial provided in this documentation:
$ make tutorial
$ ./tutorial
Compiling “user*” legacy programs¶
Warning
The user examples are deprecated on version 2.x.
If you want to compile AutoMix using the old interface with user* files, please refer to version 1.x of this package.
The original AutoMix was program-oriented and offered several example programs. To compile the example programs type:
$ make examples
After compilation you should see the programs
amtoy1, amtoy2, amcpt, amcptrs, amddi, and amrb9.
You can compile each one of them individually as well, for example:
$ make amtoy1
$ ./amtoy1
