Building MEDDLY
MEDDLY follows the GNU style of building applications from the command line, and a typical build involves running configure and make. More detailed build instructions are given in the README file.
System Requirements
The following development tools are used to build the library.
- A C++ compiler (it is known to work with g++, the GNU compiler)
- autoconf version 2.59 or higher
- automake
- make
- libtool
The library has been built and tested successfully on a variety of Unix-like platforms, incuding Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows (using Cygwin).
Recommended Tools and Libraries
- doxygen, to build the documentation for the library
- gmp, the GNU MP library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic. MEDDLY utilizes this library for certain operations (such as determining the cardinality of a large set). It is possible to disable this functionality on systems without gmp installed; see the README file for details.
