-avram - applicative virtual machine code interpreter
|

|
|
|
-This package includes a virtual machine code interpreter and a
|
|
|
-development library. It enables you to run programs that have been
|
|
|
-compiled into the virtual code format that it uses. A compiler to
|
|
|
-generate code in this format is available separately at
|
|
|
-http://gueststar.github.com/ursala.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The quick install guide (assuming you have root):
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Change to the directory with this README file in it, and do the
|
|
|
-following.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-configure
|
|
|
-make
|
|
|
-su
|
|
|
-make install
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If this doesn't work, try reading INSTALL, and please let me know what
|
|
|
-you had to do to get it to work so I can include it in this file or
|
|
|
-improve the configuration script.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Installation for non-root users (whose admins are busy):
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Change to the directory with this README file in it and type
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-configure --prefix=$HOME
|
|
|
-make
|
|
|
-make install
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The avram binary will be installed under $HOME/bin, which you need to
|
|
|
-put in your path. You might also want to modify your $MANPATH and your
|
|
|
-$INFOPATH environment variables to include $HOME/man and $HOME/info.
|
|
|
-You may substitute any directory you own for $HOME.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-See below if you want to link avram with external math libraries,
|
|
|
-which will need to be installed first.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Installation for non-root users with small disk quotas (aka students):
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Unpack the tarball in /tmp, which is world writable on most systems,
|
|
|
-cd to /tmp/avram-0.3.0 (or current version) and type
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-configure --prefix=/tmp
|
|
|
-make
|
|
|
-strip src/avram
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The third line is optional but recommended. When it's finished
|
|
|
-building, copy src/avram to your home directory wherever you keep your
|
|
|
-executables (probably ~/bin). You won't have any on-line documentation
|
|
|
-with this kind of installation, but you can always read it on the home
|
|
|
-page. Nor will you be able to link your own code against the avram
|
|
|
-library, but you'll use only a few hundred kbytes for the executable
|
|
|
-and will be able to execute unmodified virtual code scripts if they're
|
|
|
-done right.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-A combination of the above installations is to follow the building in
|
|
|
-/tmp with make install, and then copy /tmp/lib to your home directory
|
|
|
-as well as /tmp/bin/avram. That will give you the executable and the
|
|
|
-library but no documentation.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Installation of Expect
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Avram has cooler features when built on a machine with the expect
|
|
|
-library, available at http://expect.sourceforge.net. If your system
|
|
|
-doesn't have any files named /usr/lib/*expect* or
|
|
|
-/usr/local/lib/*expect*, you might want to install the expect library
|
|
|
-in order to get the full benefit before installing avram. Version
|
|
|
-numbers shown below may vary.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-1) download tcl8.5.12-src.tar.gz and expect5.45.tar.gz
|
|
|
-2) tar -zxvf tcl8.5.12-src.tar.gz
|
|
|
-3) tar -zxvf expect5.45.tar.gz
|
|
|
-4) cd tcl8.5.12/unix
|
|
|
-5) su
|
|
|
-6) configure; make; make install
|
|
|
-7) cd ../../expect-5.45
|
|
|
-8) configure; make; make install
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It is possible to install these libraries non-root by using configure
|
|
|
---prefix=$HOME. As a show of my solidarity with non-root users, I've
|
|
|
-made the avram configure script look under $HOME for shared libraries
|
|
|
-and header files. You will then have to put your $HOME/lib directory
|
|
|
-in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Installation of other libraries
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Some other libraries with which avram is able to interface may be of
|
|
|
-interest. These should be installed prior to compiling avram, if you
|
|
|
-want, but avram will also work without them.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* gsl integration, differentiation, and series acceleration
|
|
|
-* mpfr arbitrary precision arithmetic
|
|
|
-* minpack non-linear optimization
|
|
|
-* lapack linear algebra
|
|
|
-* fftw fast fourier transforms
|
|
|
-* Rmath statistical and transcendental functions
|
|
|
-* ufsparse sparse matrices
|
|
|
-* glpk linear programming by the simplex method
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Keep an eye on the output messages from the configuration script to
|
|
|
-ensure the libraries you want have been detected if you're compiling
|
|
|
-avram yourself, and then as a check execute "avram -e" with the newly
|
|
|
-built binary.
