************
dependencies
************

poptimizer requires libecsb and mcss packages (http://www.infobiotic.org)

Please make sure you install the above packages before continuing.

****************************
compilation and installation
****************************

Unpack the source tarball and change to the top-level directory of the source tree. For example, if you downloaded mcss-0.0.1.tar.gz:

$ tar -xzvf poptimizer-0.1.2.tar.gz
$ cd mcss-0.1.2

Then, to configure and build mcss:

$ ./configure
$ make

To install mcss (you will need to be root):

# make install

By default, this will install the library and header files to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include/poptimizer respectively. The poptimizer executable will be installed to /usr/local/bin.

mcss comes with some tests which can be run by:

$ make check

If you downloaded poptimizer from the SVN repository, then before configuring and building poptimizer you should run autogen.sh in the top-level directory of the source tree:

$ ./autogen.sh

Please see the INSTALL file for details on how to customise the installation.

See the documentation in the doc/ directory and the examples in the examples/ directory for more information on how to use poptimizer.
