Quick Installation
==================
- To configure and compile SILC package give the comands:
+ To configure and compile SILC package give the commands:
./configure
- make (or gmake, GNU make is required)
+ make (or gmake)
make install
This will install the SILC binaries and configuration files into the
/usr/local/silc/ directory. System wide configuration files are installed
into the /etc/silc/ directory.
-Some Configuration Options
-==========================
+You may need to add the /usr/local/silc path to your PATH environment
+variable after the installation.
+
+Configuration Options
+=====================
You can give various options to the `configure' shell script. You should
give --help command to the `configure' to see all of them. Here is listed
library instead of using the MPI library included in the package, you can
give the --with-gmp[=DIR] option to the `configure'. The DIR is the upper
path in your system which contains lib/ and include/ for GMP library.
+ Note that MPI is the prefered arbitrary precision arithmetic library and
+GMP can be used as a fall-back if you have problems with the MPI library
+included within this package.
-'--with-iconv[=DIR]'
+`--with-iconv[=DIR]'
If your system doesn't provide iconv() function in its native libraries
(usually libc) or if this function is broken (e.g. older Solaris systems),
you may want to use libiconv instead. The DIR is the upper path in your
system which contains lib/ and include/ for libiconv (e.g. /usr/local).
+ You may need to use this also if your system has many versions of iconv
+library in different locations.
+
`--without-pthreads'
If you do not want to compile the programs with POSIX multi-threads
option to the `configure' script. This will assure that assembler
optimized code is not compiled in.
+`--enabled-shared'
+
+ If you wish to compile and install shared libraries then enable this
+option. By default all libraries are compiled as static libraries.
+
`--enable-debug'
If you would like to enable the debugging for the compiled programs
