Installation
You should read the Autoconf based configuration
if you use ECL on a unix-like platform, such as
- Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris 9
- Mac OSX (See below)
- Cygwin or Mingw32 on Windows.
If you want to compile ECL using Microsoft C++ you should read the appropiate section.
For OSX you should also read a section which specifies how
to build ECL for different versions of the operating system.
If you want to cross-compile ECL, there is also a
chapter on how to pre-configure, write down a configuration file
and finish the compilation.
- Unpack the tar file
gunzip -c ecl.tgz | tar xf -
- Run the configuration file.
cd ecl-@PACKAGE_VERSION@
./configure
The previous step creates a directory with the name build, and
stores a bunch of makefiles in it. Note: If you are building
under Solaris 9, you should rather use
./configure --enable-slow-config --with-system-gmp=no
because otherwise ECL will fail to detect the 64-bit capabilities of
the operating system.
- Use GNU make to begin building ECL
make
- If you want to test the fresh new executable before installing,
you can do it. You should invoke ECL from withing the build directory
using the "-dir ./" argument to advice it about the right place to
find header files, libraries, etc
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
[...]
$ cd build
$ make
[...]
$ ./ecl -dir ./
- Install it in the preconfigured location
make install
If you have a commercial version of Microsoft Visual Studio, the
steps are simple:
- Change to the msvc directory.
- Run nmake to build ECL.
- Run nmake flatinstall prefix=d:\Software\ECL where the
prefix is the directory where you want to install ECL.
- Optionally, if you want to build a self-installing executable, you can install NSIS
and run nmake windows-nsi.
If you want to build ECL using the free Microsoft Visual C++
Toolkit 2003, you should follow these before building ECL:
- Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit.
- Download and install the Microsoft Platform SDK
- Download NMAKE and install. There is an old version in Microsoft's download page.
- Download and install the .NET Framework SDK. Copy the files msvcrt.lib an msvcrtd.lib from this toolkit to the directory where the Visual C++ Toolkit keeps it libraries. Afterwards you can uninstall the .NET SDK.
- Make sure that
- %PATH% includes the directories bin of both the C++ Toolkit, NMAKE and the SDK.
- %INCLUDE% includes the directories include of both the C++ Toolkit and the SDK.
- %LIB%includes the directories lib of both the C++ Toolkit and the SDK.
ECL now compiles with GCC 4.0. You need not specify any particular
options. But if you still experience some strange behaviour, try
compiling with a previous version of the compiler before reporting the
bug.
For compiling with GCC 3.3 (shipped with XCode >= 2) you
must instruct configure to use a different compiler, as in
$ CC=gcc-3.3 ./configure --prefix=/opt/local
