Installation Note: |
| 64 |
----------------- |
| 65 |
This software has been tested in sun4 and IBM RS6000 machines only. |
| 66 |
If you are having problems with any aspect of socket++, please |
| 67 |
email me at gs4t@virginia.edu. We can fix it together. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
This software works with iostream library. It has been tested with |
| 70 |
AT&T iostream and libg++ 2.4 (or greater) iostream libraries. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
If you are using AT&T cfront compatible compiler, you need at least |
| 73 |
cfront 3.0. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
If you are using gcc, you must have gcc 2.4.5 and libg++ 2.4 |
| 76 |
or greater versions installed before you can install socket++. |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
socket++.texi needs at least texinfo-2.16. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
Gcc, libg++, and texinfo are all available for anonymous ftp from |
| 81 |
prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
cd socket++-1.9 |
| 84 |
configure --prefix="your favorite location" |
| 85 |
make (if IBM xlC, then make CXX=xlC) |
| 86 |
cd test |
| 87 |
make check (if IBM xlC, then make CXX=xlC check) |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
Testing: |
| 90 |
------- |
| 91 |
make CXX=g++ check will automatically run testall. |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
You can also manually test as follows: |
| 94 |
testall > testall.out |
| 95 |
diff -c testall.out testall.exp |
| 96 |
If there are any differences, manually check whether |
| 97 |
testall.out and testall.exp have the same lines but only their |
| 98 |
order is different. If they have the same lines but |
| 99 |
for the order, you have installed properly. Otherwise, |
| 100 |
try to findout what might be the reason and if you couldn't |
| 101 |
please email me with your problem at gs4t@virginia.edu. |
