SIMPL Source Installation Instructions


This source code is completely self contained. It will not pollute your source tree. All it ultimately creates is a static library which you then link into your applications as you see fit. It is not necessary to patch your existing LINUX code to enable it. As such it should be quite independent of the LINUX version you are using.

Step 1: Download the source tar.gz file to your system if you have not already done so (~105k)

Step 2:You will need to define 2 environment variables to enable this stuff (and create the directories that these point to)

Step 3:To undo the gzip'd tar file simply perform the following steps: Step 4: Build the code

There is a script available to drive the top level Makefile. That script is called:

It will output the results from the make to a file called: The code is organized such that all the individual directories come with their own Makefile. You can execute localized builds by typing: Step 5: Run the benchmarking test to see if everything is in order

Simply follow the instructions contained in the readme at:

Step 6:Have fun with the stuff.

If you have any problems, comments or suggestions for improvement don't hesitate to contact the SIMPL mailing list .

NOTE:
As with most things it represents a "work in progress". FCsoftware has been using the various versions of this code in several projects over the years ... so when its not undergoing renovations we have found it to be a very stable library.
