ADOL-C Version 2.0.0 This new version of ADOL-C features new library functions for - sparse Jacobians and sparse Hessians - external differentiated functions - optimal checkpointing - adapted differentiation of fixed point iterations - parallel differentiation of OpenMP-parallel loops and many bug fixes. Furthermore the source code was adapted to allow a compilation with WINDOWS compilers. See file "INSTALL" for generic installation instructions and special instructions for the installation on a WINDOWS platform. The complete documentation can be found in the subdirectory "doc". LOCAL INSTALLATION ================== 1. Run configure with possibly using one of these options: --prefix=PREFIX install library and header files in PREFIX (default: ${HOME}/adolc_base) --with-sparse build sparse drivers [default=no] --with-openmp-flag=FLAG use FLAG to enable OpenMP at compile time [default=none] --with-docexa build documented examples [default=no] --with-addexa build additional examples [default=no] --with-parexa build parallel example [default=no], if yes -with-openmp-flag=FLAG required --with-cflags=FLAGS use CFLAGS=FLAGS (default: -O3 -Wall -ansi) --with-cxxflags=FLAGS use CXXFLAGS=FLAGS (default: -O3 -Wall) 2. Type make 3. Type make install By default, `make install' will install all the files in ${PREFIX}/lib and ${PREFIX}/include. You can specify another installation directory by using the --prefix-option in the configure call. This procedure provides all makefiles required in the approporate directories. Execute 'configure --help' for more details on other available option. Nonlocal installation ===================== As mentioned in INSTALL one can configure the adolc package to be installed in a different directory than "${HOME}/adolc_base" by using the "--prefix=PATH" configure option. This is typically used for global installations. Common PATHs are "/usr" and "/usr/local/", and others are known to be used. Fine control over the installation directories can be gained by supplying additional configure options. See "./configure --help" for details. Completing the installation by executing "make install" requires write permissions for all target directories. Make sure to have them or the result may be surprising otherwise. A global installation can be helpfull if many users need the library. By adding the library's path to "/etc/ld.so.conf" the usage of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the "-L" link switch becomes unnecessary. In many cases, for instance for PATH=/usr/local, the use of the -I directive for compiling sources becomes unnecessary too. Examples ======== Examples must be configured to build by using the configure switches --with-docexa or --with-addexa. They will never be installed by make install but can be found in the appropriate example subdirectory. Enjoy this new version!
