1INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2
3To build and install the libfec libraries, simply say
4
5./configure
6make
7make test (optional)
8make install (as root)
9
10By default, "make install" puts the libfec libraries in
11/usr/local/lib, the include files in /usr/local/include, and the
12manual page in /usr/local/man.
13
14You may have an old version of the GNU assembler that cannot handle
15the relatively new SSE2 mnemonics. Update your version of the GNU
16"binutils" package.
17
18You may obtain the latest binutils package through your normal
19distribution channels or from:
20
21http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/

23TESTING THE FEC LIBRARY
24
25After running the ./configure script, optional tests can be built and
26run as follows:
27
28make test
29
30"make test" tests each routine, using the SIMD versions as
31appropriate, verifying correct operation and estimating Viterbi
32decoding speeds. These tests should always succeed unless something is
33broken.
