= Rave Installation =

== Dependencies ==

Rave needs the following software:
 * (Gnu) C++ compiler
 * boost
 * clhep

== Linux/Unix ==

Rave is fully autotooled. '''configure; make; make install''' are your friends.
Package builders may want to use '''bootstrap'''.

Also note that various packages exist, see the download section.
Also check '''configure --help''' for special configurations.

== Java ==

In order to be able to build the java bindings,
the following applications need to be installed on the system:

 * ''javac'' (will add ''gcj'' as another option)
 * ''java''
 * ''jar'' or ''fastjar''
 * ''swig''

It might be necessary to tell the configure where to look for the java 
binaries and libraries:
{{{
./configure --with-java-home=<JAVAHOME>
}}}

Note that with rave < 0.2.2 it is necessary to turn off optimisation, e.g.
{{{
configure CXXFLAGS="-g" 
}}}
This is fixed in subversion head.


== Cygwin ==

Building under cygwin is tricky :-(
