- \title{Appendix A : Installation Guide for the UNIX Versions}
-
- 1) To print the users' manual, type ``make manual'' in the main directory
- or ``make'' in the tex subdirectory.
- This will create a file users.dvi containing the manual and a table of
- contents, and a separate index.dvi containing the index. You must
- then send the two .dvi files to your favorite printer in the usual way.
- \smallskip
- 2) To compile the library and the calculator (gp).
-
- \indent
- a) Choose the Makefile appropriate to your system. Choose Makefile.sun3 if
- your machine is 68020/68030/68040 based. In that case, you must also
- choose which assembly file to use (see 8) below).
- Choose Makefile.sun4 if your machine is Sparc based.
- For any other machine, use Makefile.port. On DECstations, for example, a
- few extra modifications are necessary.
-
- \indent
- b) If you have the GNU gcc compiler installed (we recommend that you do),
- then replace in the Makefile CC=cc by CC=gcc, add the flag -g in the
- CFLAGS if you know how to use dbx or gdb and want to debug PARI yourself,
- and add the flag -traditional in the compilation options of plot.o.
-
- \indent
- c) If you are not running under suntools or X11, change in the Makefile
- plot.sun to plot.null. If you are using the X11 window system,
- change plot.sun (or plot.null in the port version) to plot.X.
- Some slight modifications may have to be made so that the compiler knows
- where to access the X11 libraries.
-
- \indent
- d) If you have the GNU readline library installed (distributed with gdb),
- replace gp.c by gpreadline.c, i.e. mv gp.c gpold.c; mv gpreadline.c gp.c.
- Then in the Makefile add -lreadline -ltermcap to the list of libraries
- in the compilation line for gp.
- Note: if you are compiling with sunview (-lsuntool -lsunwindow -lpixrect)
- you will have an error message about a redefined function {\tt rl\_copy}.
- Since the sun source code is not available, the way out is to recompile
- the GNU readline library by changing in the file readline.c
- {\tt rl\_copy} to some weird name, say {\tt rl\_copy\_kludge}.
- The use of the readline and history library (suggested to me by E. Roeder)
- is not yet documented but is similar to emacs commands. However note that
- it is incompatible with SUN commandtools (but not with shelltools).
-
- \indent
- e) Then simply type ``make'' in the distribution directory. Be sure to
- ``make clean'' before changing to another architecture using the same
- file system. Note that the non 68020 versions are slower, especially
- the ``port'' version.
-
- \indent
- f) To test the executable, run gp on the file {\tt testin} as follows:
- {\tt gp$<$testin$>$fileout \&}. Then do a {\tt diff} with the file
- {\tt testout}. If any
- difference occurs other than the heading (version number and type),
- this means something is wrong. Most probably with your installation
- procedure, but it may be a bug in the system, in which case we would
- appreciate a report. Note that testin is not a severe test and is
- quite fast (a few minutes), but does check at least one instance of
- every function.
-
- \smallskip
- 3) To install the PARI library so that it can be easily used from a user
- program, create the directory /usr/include/pari-include, and type
- "make install". This puts the executable gp in /usr/local/bin, the library
- in the directory /usr/local/lib, and the necessary include files in
- /usr/include/pari-include. If these directories do not suit your
- installation, change the LIBDIR or the INCLUDEDIR in the Makefile.
- \smallskip
- 4) Once installed, to link to the PARI library just add -lpari in your
- link command. A sample makefile (Makesimple) is given for gp itself.
- All modifications made to the Makefile should of course be made on the
- Makesimple file.
- \smallskip
- 5) If you want to use gp under gnuemacs (see section 3.10 of the users' manual)
- change the pathnames in the file pari.el to suit your installation, and read
- the file pari.txt.
- \smallskip
- 6) If you want to get rid of your .o files and the created binaries in the
- working directory, type ``make clean''.
- \smallskip
- 7) For the example of section 4.3 of the user's manual, type make
- in the directory example.
- \smallskip
- 8) The syntax used by the SUN 3 assembler is not standard. On the MacII
- distribution, the correct Mac assembler syntax is given. In the present
- distribution, in addition to mp.s which has the SUN 3 syntax, two files
- called mp.news and mp.ami are included so as to help people having machines
- with a 680x0 processor ($x>=2$) but a more standard syntax.
-
- This may not correspond to the actual syntax used, but may be closer than
- mp.s.
- In principle, apart from whitespace and the different syntax, the semantics
- of the two files should be identical. In case of conflict, correct
- mp.news or mp.ami (i.e. NEVER touch mp.s).
-
- The file mp.news has been successfully tested on a Sony NEWS, and the file
- mp.ami on a Commodore amiga 2500 running Lattice C 5.10.
