Source Code on UNIX Platforms

Source Code Configuration on UNIX

Important remark: When compiling the sources on Unix- or Linuxsystems the development packages for X11 and Xft should be installed. On Ubuntu, for instance, you should call

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install libxft-dev

1. Go to the LEDA main directory.

2. Type: lconfig <cc> [static | shared]
   
   where <cc> is the name (or command) of your C++ compiler and the optional second parameter defines the kind of libraries to be generated. Please note that as far as Unix systems go, we currently only support several Linux distributions. LEDA might work on other Unix systems, too - it was originally developed, for instance, on SunOS - but there is no guarantee for that.
   
   Examples: lconfig CC, lconfig g++, lconfig sunpro shared
   
   lconfig without arguments prints a list of known compilers.
   If your compiler is not in the list you might have to edit the <LEDA/sys/unix.h> header file.

LEDA Compilation on UNIX

Type make for building the object code library libleda.a (libleda.so if shared libraries are used). The make command will also have another library created named libGeoW.a; it only deals with the data type GeoWin. There is no shared version of the this library available.

Now follow the instructions given in Section UnixObjectCodePackage.
