BUILDING ASCEND with JAM |
| 3 |
------------------------ |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The files in this directory support building the Ascend |
| 6 |
libraries and executables using the jam* build tool. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The following files are included: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Jamrules_general.in - configuration & custom build rules used |
| 11 |
by Jamfiles |
| 12 |
Jambase - lightly customized version of standard |
| 13 |
build rules (primarily to shore up support |
| 14 |
for different compilers) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The Ascend jam build system currently supports building under Windows |
| 17 |
using the MSVC, Borland, MinGW, and Watcom** compilers, and under |
| 18 |
Linux using gcc/g77. With use of the included Jambase file, it should |
| 19 |
work with both the original and ftjam variants of jam. However, the |
| 20 |
system was developed primarily using ftjam. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Automatic processing of Jamrules_general.in to Jamrules_general by |
| 23 |
configure is not currently implemented. A skeleton script |
| 24 |
'configure' is provided which will copy the 'Jamrules_general.in' file |
| 25 |
to 'Jamrules_general'. This file then needs to be hand-editied for |
| 26 |
your local preferences and configuration. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |

Build Instructions - Linux |
| 30 |
-------------------------- |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
You can build the Jam static libraries on Linux at present: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
1. jam must be installed and configured for the compiler in use. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2. Run ./configure |
| 37 |
See above comments -- this script is just a skeleton at the moment |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
3. Manually edit Jamrules_general to set configuration and local |
| 40 |
directory options. These settings are used by all the Jamfiles |
| 41 |
in the Ascend source tree. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
4. Change directory to base/generic/jam, type 'jam libs' |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
The static libraries will end up in base/generic/jam/Release/linux |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Build Instructions - Windows |
| 48 |
---------------------------- |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
As above, but instead of steam (2.) you need to manualy copy the |
| 51 |
Jamrules_general.in file to Jamrules_general. |
| 52 |

Notes |
| 55 |
----- |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
* jam is an open source, multi-platform build tool |
| 58 |
which is available in several flavors. These include |
| 59 |
the original (http://www.perforce.com) and ftjam |
| 60 |
(http://www.freetype.org/jam/index.html) variants, |
| 61 |
among others. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
** Currently, Open Watcom 1.3 can compile the Ascend sources |
| 64 |
and build the libraries. However, it does not supply the required |
| 65 |
IEEE math functions isnan() and copysign(). At present, Ascend does |
| 66 |
not supply these, so the user must provide these functions to use |
| 67 |
the libraries under Watcom. |
