 Quick Installation

 Quick Installation
 ==================
 

-   To configure and compile SILC package give the comands:
+   To configure and compile SILC Runtime Toolkit give the commands:

 
        ./configure
 
        ./configure

-       make (or gmake)
+       make

        make install
 
        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
-==========================
+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
 few options that you might want to use.  Please refer to the rest of this
 file for more generic installation instructions.

---with-gmp=PATH
+`--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).

 
 

-   If you wish to use GMP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic
-library instead of using the MPI library included in the package, you can
-give the --with-gmp=PATH option to the `configure'.  The PATH is the path
-to the GMP library in your system.
+`--without-pthreads'

 
 

---disable-asm
+   If you do not want to compile the programs with POSIX multi-threads
+support you can give --without-pthreads option.  In this case all compiled
+programs will work in single thread only.
+
+`--disable-asm'

 
    If you have trouble compiling the assembler optimized code in the
 package or does not want to use them, you can give the --disable-asm
 option to the `configure' script.  This will assure that assembler
 optimized code is not compiled in.

---enable-debug
+`--enable-debug'

 
    If you would like to enable the debugging for the compiled programs
 you can give this option to the `configure'.

---enable-ipv6
+`--enable-ipv6'

 
    The `configure' will attempt to check for IPv6 support in your system.
 
    The `configure' will attempt to check for IPv6 support in your system.

-   However, if it fails, but you still want to compile in the IPv6 support
-   you can give --enable-ipv6 option to force the IPv6 support.

+you can give --enable-ipv6 option to force the IPv6 support.
+
+`--disable-cpu-optimizations'
+ 
+   By default the configure script will attempt to detect the type of your 
+CPU and enable any features specific to your CPU that could optimize the 
+performance of the Toolkit. If you are creating binary package that should 
+work on any CPU (and not only your CPU) you should diable these 
+optimizations. If you compile it for yourself only, keeping the 
+optimizations enabled is recommended.
