Compiling LiDIA

 

LiDIA is built using the Unix  command make. For OS/2 you can use GNUmake or DMake 4.0, which can be obtained from the same places where you obtained gzip and tar from.

M.0
[Change directory] Change to the directory UnpackDir/LiDIA, i.e., type in: cd /usr/local/LiDIA

On OS/2 -- systems use d:
cdLiDIA

instead.

M.1
[Configure] If you have not already configured LiDIA (see section gif) run the make command on the target configure, i.e., type in: make configure

  This will run the steps E.0 - E.2. On OS/2 -- systems type in make os2

instead.

M.2
[Make] Run the make command, i.e., type in: make or make appl

make leads to the compilation of the library sources, while make appl compiles these sources and moreover the example programs which have the form ..._appl.c. If the library is already compiled and you use make appl, only the example programs will be compiled.  

M.3
[End]

The architectures for which we give assembly support are at the moment

sparc7, sparc8, mips, i386, i486, i586

Moreover, LiDIA has been succesfully compiled on alpha, hp9000/7xx, rs6000 and OS/2 systems
