INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CMake-based build: Works on most platforms. Do mkdir build cd build cmake .. make If that fails, try the older automake-based build: ./bootstrap ./configure make make test (optional) make install (as root) By default, "make install" puts the libfec libraries in /usr/local/lib, the include files in /usr/local/include, and the manual page in /usr/local/man. You may have an old version of the GNU assembler that cannot handle the relatively new SSE2 mnemonics. Update your version of the GNU "binutils" package. You may obtain the latest binutils package through your normal distribution channels or from: http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/ TESTING THE FEC LIBRARY After running the ./configure script, optional tests can be built and run as follows: make test "make test" tests each routine, using the SIMD versions as appropriate, verifying correct operation and estimating Viterbi decoding speeds. These tests should always succeed unless something is broken. 28 Mar 2004 Phil Karn, karn@ka9q.net 3 Jan 2014 Matthias P. Braendli, matthias@mpb.li
