/* INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPILE ON ARM6 (Raspberry Pi) */\
\
\
step 1:\
you will first need to download the main armadillo library source, and extract it into your home directory.\
\
armadillo library source: http://arma.sourceforge.net/download.html#all_platforms\
\
\
step two: \
install cmake:http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html\
\
its easier to just launch the command:\
sudo apt-get install cmake\
\
\
follow the instructions below which are also supplied in greater detail within the README.txt file of the armadillo library. \
\
The steps I took were:\
\
\
launching the ./configure in the armadillo folder\
run \
cmake\
run \
make\
run \
make \
\
\
\
README.txt instructions:\
\
=== 3.1: Installation on Linux and Mac OS X ===\
\
\
\
You can use the manual installation process as described in\
\
section 3.2, or the following CMake based automatic installation.\
\
\
\
* Step 1:\
\
If CMake is not already be present on your system, download\
\
it from http://www.cmake.org\
\
\
\
On major Linux systems (such as Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc),\
\
cmake is available as a pre-built package, though it may need\
\
to be explicitly installed (using a tool such as PackageKit,\
\
yum, rpm, apt, aptitude).\
\
\
\
* Step 2:\
\
If you have BLAS and/or LAPACK, install them before installing\
\
Armadillo. Under Mac OS X this is not necessary.\
\
\
\
On Linux systems it is recommended that the following libraries\
\
are present: LAPACK, BLAS, ATLAS and Boost. LAPACK and BLAS are\
\
the most important. If you have ATLAS and Boost, it's also necessary\
\
to have the corresponding header files installed.\
\
\
\
For best performance, we recommend using the multi-threaded\
\
OpenBLAS library instead of standard BLAS.\
\
See http://xianyi.github.com/OpenBLAS/\
\
\
\
* Step 3:\
\
Open a shell (command line), change into the directory that was\
\
created by unpacking the armadillo archive, and type the following\
\
commands:\
\
\
\
cmake .\
\
make\
\
\
\
The full stop separated from "cmake" by a space is important.\
\
CMake will figure out what other libraries are currently installed\
\
and will modify Armadillo's configuration correspondingly.\
\
CMake will also generate a run-time armadillo library, which is a\
\
combined alias for all the relevant libraries present on your system\
\
(eg. BLAS, LAPACK and ATLAS).\
\
\
\
If you need to re-run cmake, it's a good idea to first delete the\
\
"CMakeCache.txt" file (not "CMakeLists.txt").\
\
\
\
Caveat: out-of-tree builds are currently not supported; for example,\
\
creating a sub-directory called "build" and running cmake .. from\
\
within "build" is currently not supported.\
\
\
\
* Step 4:\
\
If you have access to root/administrator/superuser privileges,\
\
first enable the privileges (eg. through "su" or "sudo")\
\
and then type the following command:\
\
\
\
make install\
\
\
\
If you don't have root/administrator/superuser privileges,\
\
type the following command:\
\
\
\
make install DESTDIR=my_usr_dir\
\
\
\
where "my_usr_dir" is for storing C++ headers and library files.\
\
Make sure your C++ compiler is configured to use the sub-directories\
\
present within this directory.\
