Before compiling, make sure you have installed packages you might need in the latest available
versions. These are: g++, libboost, automake, autoconf, libtool, make, getopt, java, libblas and ccgsl,
which is available from sourceforge.
Basic compiling: download archive as dea-distributions-1.0.tar.gz
Open a terminal (console). Change directory to the directory containing dea-distributions.tar.gz using
$ cd <name of directory>
Extract the file. You can use:
$ tar zxvf interior-point-optimisation-1.0.tar.gz
This should list everything that gets extracted. Now change to the directory containing the code:
$ cd interior-point-optimisation-1.0
Now do the following.
$ ./configure
This should produce a lot of output saying what it has found and not found. If it doesn’t, it may complain
that some package or other is missing.
$ make
You can make this run a bit faster using
$ make -j4
If this all works, use
$ sudo make install
To install the programs and libraries.
