-The Tecla library was written with portability in mind, so no
-modifications to the source code should be needed on UNIX or LINUX
-platforms. The default compilation and linking arrangements should
-also work unchanged on these systems, but if no specific configuration
-has been provided for your system, shared libraries won't be compiled.
-Configuring these requires modifications to be made to the file:
-
- configure.in
-
-This file is heavily commented (comments start with the word dnl) and
-is relatively simple, so the instructions and suggestions that you
-find in this file should be sufficient to help you figure out how to
-add a configuration for your system. This file is an input file to the
-GNU autoconf program, which uses it as a template for generating the
-distributed configure script. If autoconf is installed on your system,
-creating a new configure script is a simple matter of typing.
-
- autoconf
-
-To avoid confusion with the leftovers of the previous configuration,
-you should then do the following:
-
- rm -f config.cache
- ./configure
- make clean
- ./configure
- make
-
-The first ./configure creates a new makefile for your system, allowing
-you to type 'make clean' to discard any files that were compiled with
-the previous configuration. Since 'make clean' also deletes the new
-makefile, a second invokation of the configure script is then
-performed to re-create the makefile. The final make then creates the
-tecla library from scratch.
-
-Once you have confirmed that the new configuration works, please send
-the modified "configure.in" template to mcs@astro.caltech.edu, so that
-your changes can be included in subsequent releases.
