Compiling Aida from sources

Compiling the aida command from the sources should not be a problem
with a Unix-like system provided a C compiler is present on the machine, as
well as a recent version of Bison (version 2.4 or greater) and Flex
(version 2.5 or greater).

The compiling process is driven by a Makefile. It is quite standard
and can be performed by the following steps:
1. retrieve the most recent aida sources (see the Download section).
1. go to the top directory containing the sources (i-e the directory
containing the file configure.ac).
1. generate the file src/config.h.in with the command:

    autoheader

1. generate the configure script with the command:

   autoconf
   

2. execute the configure script with the command:

   ./configure
   

3. compile the sources with the command:

   make
   

4. install the binary and the library with the command (you must have
   administrator privileges):

   sudo make install
