Installation

This software is tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Other Linux distributions are also expected to work with minor modifications to the names of the dependencies.

• Step 1: Install C dependencies

  $ sudo apt install build-essential libgsl-dev libgmp-dev
  

• Step 2: Build the library

  $ make
  

  The files are installed in

  • static library: build/lib/librvg.a

  • header files: build/include/*.h

• Step 3: Run the examples

  $ cd examples/
  $ make
  $ ./main.out
  $ ./readme.out
  

  The following Makefile shows how to build new programs that use librvg.a.

  all: main.out readme.out
  
  LIBS = -lrvg -lgsl -lm
  INCLUDES = -I ../build/include -L ../build/lib/
  CFLAGS = -O3 -DNDEBUG -Wl,-z,execstack
  
  %.out: %.c
  	gcc -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $^ $(LIBS)
  
  .PHONY: clean
  clean:
  	rm -rf *.out
