1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2 3 To build and install the libfec libraries, simply say 4 5 ./configure 6 make 7 make test (optional) 8 make install (as root) 9 10 By default, "make install" puts the libfec libraries in 11 /usr/local/lib, the include files in /usr/local/include, and the 12 manual page in /usr/local/man. 13 14 You may have an old version of the GNU assembler that cannot handle 15 the relatively new SSE2 mnemonics. Update your version of the GNU 16 "binutils" package. 17 18 You may obtain the latest binutils package through your normal 19 distribution channels or from: 20 21 http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/ 22 23 TESTING THE FEC LIBRARY 24 25 After running the ./configure script, optional tests can be built and 26 run as follows: 27 28 make test 29 30 "make test" tests each routine, using the SIMD versions as 31 appropriate, verifying correct operation and estimating Viterbi 32 decoding speeds. These tests should always succeed unless something is 33 broken. 34 35 28 Mar 2004 36 Phil Karn, karn (a] ka9q.net 37 38 39 40
