| 2 | |
| 3 | To build and install the libfec libraries, simply say |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ./configure |
| 6 | make |
| 7 | make test (optional) |
| 8 | make install (as root) |
| 9 | |
| 10 | By default, "make install" puts the libfec libraries in |
| 11 | /usr/local/lib, the include files in /usr/local/include, and the |
| 12 | manual page in /usr/local/man. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | You may have an old version of the GNU assembler that cannot handle |
| 15 | the relatively new SSE2 mnemonics. Update your version of the GNU |
| 16 | "binutils" package. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | You may obtain the latest binutils package through your normal |
| 19 | distribution channels or from: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/ |
| 22 | |
| 23 | TESTING THE FEC LIBRARY |
| 24 | |
| 25 | After running the ./configure script, optional tests can be built and |
| 26 | run as follows: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | make test |
| 29 | |
| 30 | "make test" tests each routine, using the SIMD versions as |
| 31 | appropriate, verifying correct operation and estimating Viterbi |
| 32 | decoding speeds. These tests should always succeed unless something is |
| 33 | broken. |
