cddlib-094f	cddlib-devel	–	–
gf2x	gf2x	–	–
qt4	qt4	qt4	–

To construct the plugins for axel (AXL=ON), the following packages should be installed:

src	rpm	deb	port (Mac)
axel	axel	–	–

2.Download

You can either

• get the version under development with:

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

• or download a source distribution if it is available at

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

  and uncompress it with:

  tar zxvf mmx-0.1-Source.tar.gz

3.Configuration with cmake

To run the configuration, cmake (version ⩾ 2.6) should first be installed.

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

mkdir build;
cd build;
cmake <mmx_source_dir>
make

where <mmx_source_dir> is the name of the folder of the package source (eg. ../mmx-0.1-Source or ../mmx),

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):

mkdir build;
cd build;
cmake <mmx_source_dir> -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. For more details, on the different options see here.

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

make VERBOSE=1

To see the other available targets, you can use:

make help

4.Configuration with configure

To run the configuration with configure as follows:

cd mmx
./configure
make

For more details, on the different options see here.

5.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:

source local_env

6.Using mmx

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

find_package(Mmx)
include_directories (${MMX_INCLUDE_DIR})
link_libraries (${MMX_LIBRARIES})
link_library_dir (${MMX_LIBRARY_DIR})
