| INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| |
| To build and install the libfec libraries, simply say |
| |
| ./configure |
| make |
| make test (optional) |
| make install (as root) |
| |
| By default, "make install" puts the libfec libraries in |
| /usr/local/lib, the include files in /usr/local/include, and the |
| manual page in /usr/local/man. |
| |
| You may have an old version of the GNU assembler that cannot handle |
| the relatively new SSE2 mnemonics. Update your version of the GNU |
| "binutils" package. |
| |
| You may obtain the latest binutils package through your normal |
| distribution channels or from: |
| |
| http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/ |
| |
| TESTING THE FEC LIBRARY |
| |
| After running the ./configure script, optional tests can be built and |
| run as follows: |
| |
| make test |
| |
| "make test" tests each routine, using the SIMD versions as |
| appropriate, verifying correct operation and estimating Viterbi |
| decoding speeds. These tests should always succeed unless something is |
| broken. |
