To build cdec, you'll need: * boost headers & boost program_options (you may need to install a package like libboost-dev) Instructions for building ----------------------------------- 1) Create a build directory and generate Makefiles using CMake mkdir build cd build cmake .. If the cmake command completes successfully, you can proceed. If you have libraries (such as Boost) installed in nonstandard locations, you may need to run cmake with special options like -DBOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost. 2) Build make -j 2 3) Test make test ./tests/run-system-tests.pl Everything should pass. 4) Enjoy!
