Compiling GDL


  1. Log in as root. Make sure you are connected to the internet (e.g. ifup work).

     
  2. Download the latest release version of GDL from SourceForge. Extract the contents from the tar file:
    [root@fedora ~] # tar xvzf gdl-0.9pre2.tar.gz

    or alternatively,

    Download the latest developments from the CVS repository:
    Remove or rename any folder named gdl in your current directory and execute the following command:
    [root@fedora ~] # cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@gnudatalanguage.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gnudatalanguage checkout gdl

     
  3. cd into the new gdl directory. Run the following three commands:
    [root@fedora ~] # cd gdl
    [root@fedora ~/gdl] # make distclean
    [root@fedora ~/gdl] # ./configure
    [root@fedora ~/gdl] # make                        ( takes about 30 minutes on a 1 GHz machine with 1 GB of RAM)
    [root@fedora ~/gdl] # make install
