The cora package uses the standard GNU autoconfig build system. Installing the program thus requires the following three commands:
./configure [options]
make
make install
The ./configure script can take a number of optional arguments.
You can use ./configure - -help to get a list. Most interesting
perhaps is the - -prefix=DIR argument, which can be used to change
the default installation directory prefix (the default prefix is
/usr/local, i.e., the executable would be installed in the directory
/usr/local/bin).
The pgplot and GTK+ libraries will be searched for automatically,
but the search
can fail in some cases. In order to customize the specification of where these
libraries are installed on your system, a script (cora_setup.ksh or
cora_setup.tcsh) is delivered with a number of
environment variables, which are read by the configure script, and should be
modified to your needs. With the correct setting, the script must simply be
executed before running ./configure (the file config.cache might
have to be deleted, if an earlier configure execution failed to find
libraries).
The locations of libraries and include file can also be given on the command
line with ./configure, e.g. ./configure -with-pgplot-lib=PFX.
