Building from the Sources

This is how a developer builds Giggle from scratch, not from a distribution. Building from scratch requires Gnu Autoconf, LATEX, & latex2html, whereas installing from a distribution does not.

  1. cd to the directory which contains the Giggle makefile. Also in that directory will be the directories src.

  2. autoconf

    This will create ./configure.

  3. Follow the steps in 8.

As long as you don't change configure.in or giggle.m4, you don't need to re-run Autoconf.
