1.Dependencies

Here is the list of packages to be installed before configuring basix:

2.Download

You can either

• get the version under development with:

  svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/mmx/basix

• or download a source distribution if it is available at

  http://gforge.inria.fr/project/mmx

  and uncompress it with:

  tar zxvf basix-0.1-Source.tar.gz

3.Configuration

To run the configuration, cmake version at least should available on your platform.

Local installation. The package can be configured out-of-source (eg. in a folder ../build) as follows:

cmake ../(path_to_package)
make

The folder where the construction will be run is in this case ../build.

Global installation. If you want to install it globally in your environment after it is compiled, you can run the following instructions (possibly with the superuser rights):

cmake ../(path_to_package) -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_dir>
make
make install

where <install_dir> is the folder where to install the package so that the libraries go in <install_dir>/lib; and the headers in <install_dir>/include. If not specified, the package is installed by default in /usr/local.

To see the operations performed during the make command, you can use:

make VERBOSE=1

4.How to set locally your environment variables

In case you have not run make install, you can set up your environment locally in the folder build with:

cd ../build
source local_env

5.Using basix

To use the package basix in a cmake project, you can simply add the following lines in your file CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(Basix)
include_directories (${BASIX_INCLUDE_DIR})
link_directories (${BASIX_LIBRARY_DIR})
link_libraries (${BASIX_LIBRARIES})
