Building the libraries

Building both C library and OCaml interface

`make alli'

Builds the libraries with normal long int machine integers;

`make alll'

Builds the libraries with long long int machine integers; long long ints are recognized by GCC and in the ISO C99 standard;

`make allg'

Builds the libraries with GMP integers;

`make all'

Builds all the version of the library.

Installation is done with `make install'.

Using GMP integers prevents any overflow problems. Be cautious, these are not detected ! The observed effect is usually an infinite loop.

Building the C library only

Enter the `C' directory, and type the above-mentioned commands.

Generated files

`make all%' where %=i,l,g generates the `libpolka%.a' C library, and the following public OCaml files:

• `libpolka%_caml.a': C interface library
• `polka.cma': bytecode OCaml library
• `polka.cmxa' and `polka.a': native OCaml library
• `(polka,vector,matrix,poly,polkaIO).(cmi|cmx)': bytecode/native OCaml interface files

Building the documentation

Type `make doc'. The generated files `polka.dvi', `polka.ps', `polka.info' and `html/*' can be found in the `documentation' directory.
