|---|
| 19 | * | 
|---|
| 20 | * After you obtained the code, you do the following: | 
|---|
| 21 | * | 
|---|
| 22 | * \code | 
|---|
| 23 | * ./bootstrap | 
|---|
| 24 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 25 | * | 
|---|
| 26 | * This creates the necessary autoconf and automake files. | 
|---|
| 27 | * | 
|---|
| 28 | * After this, | 
|---|
| 29 | * | 
|---|
| 30 | * \code | 
|---|
| 31 | * mkdir build | 
|---|
| 32 | * cd build | 
|---|
| 33 | * ../configure --prefix=`pwd` | 
|---|
| 34 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 35 | * | 
|---|
| 36 | * which will run the configure script that checks whether you have a current | 
|---|
| 37 | * version of the following required packages | 
|---|
| 38 | * | 
|---|
| 39 | * -# GNU Scientific Library (specify via LDFLAGS, ...) | 
|---|
| 40 | * -# Qt4 framework (--with-Qt=<dir> or --with-Qt-include-dir, --with-Qt-bin-dir, | 
|---|
| 41 | *  --with-Qt-lib-dir and --with-Qt-lib) | 
|---|
| 42 | * -# Boost library 1.40 or newer with program_options and threads (--with-boost=<dir>) | 
|---|
| 43 | * -# CPPUnit framework (--with-cppunit-prefix=<dir>) | 
|---|
| 44 | * -# CodePatterns (--with-codepatterns=<dir>) | 
|---|
| 45 | * | 
|---|
| 46 | * \a --prefix is the argument to tell configure where all program code should go | 
|---|
| 47 | * to (pwd is the unix command for the current working directory). There are | 
|---|
| 48 | * others, see | 
|---|
| 49 | * | 
|---|
| 50 | * \code | 
|---|
| 51 | * ../configure --help | 
|---|
| 52 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 53 | * | 
|---|
| 54 | * and some enable/disable switches you should check out: | 
|---|
| 55 | * | 
|---|
| 56 | * - \a --enable-ecut - says that the TestRunner, comprising all unit tests in one | 
|---|
| 57 | *  exectuable, shall make use of the Eclipse CppUnitTest (ECUT). If this is | 
|---|
| 58 | *  started within eclipse with this plugin installed, a shiny interface will tell | 
|---|
| 59 | *  you what failed and what not. | 
|---|
| 60 | * - \a --enable-debug - activates many internal asserts, memory debugger and more | 
|---|
| 61 | *  (makes code a lot slower but gives information in case something fails) | 
|---|
| 62 | * | 
|---|
| 63 | * \note A note about configure: If one library is found only under some specific path, you | 
|---|
| 64 | * can add CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, ... to the configure call, like this | 
|---|
| 65 | * \code | 
|---|
| 66 | * ../configure --prefix=`pwd` --enable-hydrogen CFLAGS="-Wall -g3" CXXFLAGS="-Wall -g3" | 
|---|
| 67 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 68 | * which enables all compiler warnings and full debugging of the code without any | 
|---|
| 69 | * optimization. configure saves these variables, too, such that when it is called | 
|---|
| 70 | * to re-configure it will still make use of them from its cache file. | 
|---|
| 71 | * | 
|---|
| 72 | * There are several flags that change the way molecuilder is compiled and probably | 
|---|
| 73 | * make it run faster, more unsafe, ... | 
|---|
| 74 | * -# \a -DLOG_OBSERVER,  What the Observers do is logged, the log is printed on exit | 
|---|
| 75 | * -# \a -DNO_MEMDEBUG,   MemDebug (memory debugger) is disabled | 
|---|
| 76 | * -# \a -DNO_CACHING,  Cachable are short-wired, i.e. always recalculate, this slows | 
|---|
| 77 | *  down the code a lot | 
|---|
| 78 | * -# \a -DNDEBUG,  include NO_MEMDEBUG, also ASSERTs are not checked, this speeds up | 
|---|
| 79 | *  the code by a factor of 5 | 
|---|
| 80 | * | 
|---|
| 81 | * \section install-install Installing | 
|---|
| 82 | * | 
|---|
| 83 | * Now, we are ready to compile and install. | 
|---|
| 84 | * | 
|---|
| 85 | * \code | 
|---|
| 86 | * make | 
|---|
| 87 | * make install | 
|---|
| 88 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 89 | * | 
|---|
| 90 | * \attention If you have a multi-core system, it is highly recommended to use the | 
|---|
| 91 | * \a -j option of make to allow for multiple threads to work on compiling or | 
|---|
| 92 | * checking the codfe simultaneously. | 
|---|
| 93 | * | 
|---|
| 94 | * And if everything went well, you should launch the unit tests and the testsuite | 
|---|
| 95 | * by (see section \ref tests on how to launch the tests individually) | 
|---|
| 96 | * | 
|---|
| 97 | * \code | 
|---|
| 98 | * make check | 
|---|
| 99 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 100 | * | 
|---|
| 101 | * If everything is OK, you have a working version of MoleCuilder in form of the | 
|---|
| 102 | * executables \b bin/molecuilder and \b bin/molecuildergui. | 
|---|
| 103 | * | 
|---|
| 104 | * If you have to delete all compiled stuff, enter | 
|---|
| 105 | * | 
|---|
| 106 | * \code | 
|---|
| 107 | * make clean | 
|---|
| 108 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 109 | * | 
|---|
| 110 | * or | 
|---|
| 111 | * | 
|---|
| 112 | * \code | 
|---|
| 113 | * make distclean | 
|---|
| 114 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 115 | * | 
|---|
| 116 | * which will also delete all autoconf stuff for configure. | 
|---|
| 117 | * | 
|---|
| 118 | * distclean is at times necessary when stuff does not compile and there's | 
|---|
| 119 | * seemingly no logic behind it, i.e. especially when paths of modules have | 
|---|
| 120 | * changed. To recover your configure options, either look at \b config.log in | 
|---|
| 121 | * the build directory or enter | 
|---|
| 122 | * | 
|---|
| 123 | * \code | 
|---|
| 124 | * ./config.status --version | 
|---|
| 125 | * \endcode | 
|---|
| 126 | * | 
|---|
| 127 | *  Further useful commands are | 
|---|
| 128 | *  -# make clean uninstall: deletes .o-files and removes executable from the given | 
|---|
| 129 | *    binary directory | 
|---|
| 130 | *  -# make doc: Creates these html pages out of the documented source | 
|---|
| 131 | *  -# make check: Runs an extensive set of unit tests and a testsuite which also gives | 
|---|
| 132 | *    a good overview on the set of functions. |
